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.

12oz bottle. Dark brown pour with a big tan head. Malty and boozy aroma with licorice and chocolate. Taste of creamy vanilla up front, then chocolate malt with a coffee finish. Not bad, but I think I like the BA version (Heresy) a little better.

Mr Bunn comes thorugh with another delicious bottle of beer in an very generous trade, thanks again Joel! The beer pours a deep black with a tight tan head. The aroma is coffee with some yeasty notes and a little bit of plum. The flavors are much like the aromas with some good bitter coffee a mild fruitiness and a hopiness which works well with the other flavors. Very tasty and drinkable, not a trace of alcohol, this reminded me more of a plain old stout than an imperial stout, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Mild smoke aroma, coffee, sour smoke, lingering bitterness, sour aftertaste. Spicy. Pleasant sipping beer, the sour dimension is a welcome addition.

Bottle from a co-worker. Pours a very opaque black with a very large tan head. Aroma is very dark. Soy sauce could be in it. Chocolate, yes. Dark fruit, likely. Roasted malt, ? Full bodied with creamy carbonation. Flavor has lots of darker fruit, with roasted dark malt, coffee, and likely chocolate. A lot going on here. Finishes balanced between sweet and bitter. There’s not a trace of heat. The flavors are complex. This is one to savor.

Pours black with a very small tan head. Aroma is soy sauce, chocolate, and dark fruits. Taste is the same plus hints of vanilla, nuts, and alcohol. Smooth and drinkable, good beer.

Pours pitch black with a slight tan head that lingers. The aroma is roasted with hints of chocolate, vanilla, and dark fruits. Tastes of chocolate and some subtle hops with faint alcohol and coffee flavors. The seven types of malts create an excellent flavor.
