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. High points for the appearance - a beautiful jet black topped by a small brown head. Top notch aroma too - the chocolate notes are off the wall mixed with a very sweet fruit like cherries and then lighter tones of espresso. Taste is relatively smooth due to a blending of flavors that work well off each other - chocolate, roasted coffee and dark fruit. Nice roasted aftertaste and a smooth full mouthfeel.

It’s a pitch black stout with a huge, dark brown and creamy head that Steve/Coldbrewky sent to me - thank you so much for this gem. The aroma is full and has nice notes of roasted malt and chocolate with a hint of vanilla. The flavour is smooth and round with notes of roasted coffee, chocolate and again a weak hint of vanilla. It’s very harmonic and delicious, and dangerously easy to drink. 2359

Bottle. Pours black with a medium tan head that fades to a thin lasting layer. The aroma is mainly dark fruits and molasses. The flavor is fairly complex; I get dark fruits and molasses like the aroma that moves to roasted malts with a hint of chocolate in the finish. Medium mouthfeel with a dry finish.

aroma of sweet plum and toffee. Pours a dark dark brown with a tan head that is tall and fluffy. Good palate that isnt syurpy the flavor is pretty good but is a bit lacking. Mostly malt flavor with some roast hints and hop presence a bit of chocolate os on there as well.

Deep, rich, dark, and malty. There are some subtle coffee flavours, and a nice hop presence. Its nice and heavy without being so extreme that you don’t want to drink it. It is very smooth and tasty. There isn’t much head as the beer warms, just a deep rich black earthy color and aroma.

12 oz. bottle. Pours black with a moderate tan head that lasted through most of the glass. Pleasant aroma of roasted malt, cocoa, and a bit of wet cardboard. The flavor was very similar to the aroma, although thankfully the wet cardboard dissipated and was gone after several minutes. Slightly dry at the finish. Medium bodied. A better than average beer, but could use a bit more oomph, especially for an Impy.

Pours black with bits of light tan head at the edges. Slight roast aroma, some sour notes. Medium-bodied. Taste has roast, chocolate cookie, a tad bit of coffee. A decent imperial stout, but really not that complex on the aroma or taste front.
