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. 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.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of Coldbrewky. Pours a lovely black w/ a small tan head. Taste was complex. Hints of coffee, chocolate, molasses, even soy. Finish was dry and smooth. Looking forward to the Heresy I also received from Coldbrewky.
