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 a pitch black color with a thin tan head. Has hints coffee, nuts, roasted barley, and a hint of cream. Finished smooth and sugary.

Bottle from Footbalm - Thanks! Pours a dark brown/near black with a small tan head. Nose is intense with chocolate, coffee, and roast. Taste is consistent, but a bit light when compared to the aroma. Has a little bittersweet cocoa feel too.

Note: as of writing this, the bottle was purchased nearly one year ago. Appearance: Pours a black body with a small brown head. Smell: Aroma of dark chocolate with notes of vanilla and caramel and only a faint, faint bit of fruitiness and pine lurking beneath the maltiness. Taste: A tasty, sweet mixture of high-percentage cocoa dark cocolate and crème de menthe, like a liquefied Andes mint. The finish is sweet and roasty, with a nice anise flavor lingering into the aftertaste. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Soft carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel. Drinkability: A delightful stout fresh and even moreso a year later.

A delicious imperial stout from a great PA brewer. Beautiful black pour with a tan 1 finger head. Aroma of coffee and alcohol with a hint of chocolate. Taste was nice and bitter...coffee bitter with dark chocolate and a little roasted malt in the back. Nice thick mouthfeel with good carbonation.

Chocolate and caramel aroma, deep brown color. Somewhat bitter on the palette, with a malty/nutty/alcohol aftertaste. Very drinkable.

Black body, soil colored brown head; Not to big slightly metallic chocolate fruity nose; Huge carbonation in a bit thin body, bitter slightly sweet a bit fruity; Long bitter finish, fruity with chocolate aromas. Alright but really nothing special and not that well composed.

Very, very nice! A well rounded Imperial stout offering with a distinctive front taste and relatively smooth aftertaste. Highlights of chocolate notes are there if focused on. Alcohol is blended well. Enjoyed from 12 oz. bottle that was aged slighltly under 1 year. Very nice indeed!

Pours an opaque black into the snifter. There was a big tan head and the perfect touch of lacing. The scent was of malt, chocolate, coffee, roasted barley and nuts. The taste was very malty with the perfect touch of chocolate and espresso. There was a curious metallic? hint in the back, that didn’t sit too well on the palate. Overall, a very nice, drinkable Imperial stout.
