Commercial Description:
Formerly Weyerbacher Imperial Stout.
Rich, velvety and deliciously complex, Weyerbacher Imperial Stout is a truly distinctive winter warmer. We use seven types of malt and two varieties of hops to bring forth this big brew. Quite robust and roasty on the palate, Weyerbacher Imperial Stout has a wonderfully fruity nose and a moderately dry finish. The taste is highly complex- perhaps you'll even discern notes of expresso or chocolate.

Bottle: Poured a dark dark brown with a nice head. The aroma was that of chocolate mocha. The flavor was Roasted chocolate with a hint of espresso. This was a great beer to drink during the cold months.

Great looking nice and dart pours with dark mocha head. Roasty taste and went down very smoothly not over carbonated like some other dark beers.

Pours jet black with an off white head that quickly fades to a thin layer of foam. This has a sweet nose to it with a typical imperial stout scent. The taste comes across somewhat mild with little hop bitterness. It doesn’t have that big burnt coffe taste with the massive bitterness at the end that I am used to. It is a good brew though.

no BB date but bottle has been cellared for 8 months...pours black with a cafe au lait colored head that disappears a lot faster than i expected. aroma is candy (bubblegum...like big league chew), chocolate, roasty malts and vanilla. i expected more from the aroma judging from the color! flavor is ashy roasted malts with some acidity and dryness from the roast. also, dried dark fruits (prunes), light chocolate and coffee on the finish. coffee lingers in the aftertaste as well. medium bodied with surprisingly high carbonation. like a toned down imperial stout. it’s light enough to drink a lot of in a session which is pretty uncommon for most imperials
