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.

Poured into a snifter, oily pitch black, amazing aroma roasty chocolate. Oily velvety feel on the mouth. What an amazing beer. Would have liked the alcohol slightly higher with a lighter bit more body but this is almost a perfect beer.

ComradeK (732) - Blue Mountains, AUSTRALIA - FEB 12, 2013
355ml bottle. Pours an opaque black, with a small beige head, which lasts reasonably well and leaves decent lacing. The aroma has notes of bitter cocoa and plum, as well as a slight alcoholic sweetness. For an imperial stout, it is incredibly hoppy, with fairly strong citrus hops up front. These lead into a sweetish mix of dark chocolate and banana, with a hint of whipped cream leading into the finish. The finish itself has some resurgent citrus hops, as well as a prune flavour. This is not a classic imperial stout. Its hops are quite strong for the style, but teamed with a sweet, rather than savoury, style of stout they make it feel a bit conflicted. It’s a reasonable beer, but there are better imperial stouts out there.

Bottle from Barleywine shop, Copenhagen, Denmark. A black coloured pour with a medium beige head on top. Roastty, malty, dark fruit aroma. Tastes similar, roasty, malty, dark fruit, slight chocolate, almost port like. This bottle may be a few years old. Still pretty pleasant though.

Capa (1905) - Manama, BAHRAIN - FEB 8, 2013
Dark pour with a small tan head. Aroma is roasted malts, licorice, dark fruits, chocolate. Medium bodied. Flavor follows the aroma with light coffee and smoke. Was not wowed by this one and thought it to be fairly non-descript. Not bad by any means, but not memorable, either.

Snifter pour of deep dark blackness with khaki head. Nose is roasted malts with coffee and some dark chocolate with a sweet presence. Flavor is somewhat sweet, maybe caramel, roasted coffee and some smoothness. Not bad.
