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: Black with a dark tan head, some lacing. Aroma, chocolate and fruits, a bit of coffee. Flavor, dark fruits, coffee, some dark chcolate. Medium to full bodied, could be a little thicker, but it’s almost there.

This was really smoky, more so than a usual imp. stout. aroma and flavor were mild. by no means a bold stout. alcoholic, and got more so as it warmed up and less chocolately. It was a very bitter type of chocolate too. not a good imperial stout.

black pour dense tan head, not much lacing. Well roasty aroma some light chocolate hints a tiny bit of coffee, pretty light aroma for a "highly rated IS". Good well coated palate, nice and thick. Flavor is a good amount of roast malt & grain soem light bitter coccoa powder and a touch of coffee, plus an odd bit of flavor I can’t place that makes it feel a little off. Not bad.

Bottle sample at Clifton Beer Fest. Poured dark brown with an average fizzy brown head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate roasted sweet malty aroma. Medium to full body with a creamy texture. Medium complex sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. This is a standout beer.

Great dark color, aroma of chocolate, coffee and roast. Great dark malt flavors, chocolate, coffee, dark cherry flavor, molasses, pretty dry. Alcohol is hidden reasonably well. I had the Heresy a few weeks ago which is the oak aged version beer, very nice as well, but this is more of a daily drinker.

12 oz. bottle via trade with Ty5592 - Pours black with a good size tan head. Light lacing. Has your typical IS aroma. Chocolate and coffee. Has a dry coffee flavor. Smooth, but a little dry. Medium body. Nothing fancy, just a good all-around IS. Thanks Ty.

Poured a dark black color with very small tan head. Aroma was of roasted malts coffee and chocolate some dark fruits. Flavor was much the same, overwelmed by coffee. Mouthfeel was very full.
