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.

I’ve got a pile of these in the basement and, to my surprise, I hadn’t yet rated the Old Heathen. Bottle pours nice and dark with a pleasant coffee-dark chocolate aroma. Taste of coffee, chocolate, and sweet malt with a nice finish. Tastes alot better at 50degrees+.

[2nd Low Countries RateBeer meeting] Aroma of roasted coffee malts with some raisins and black currant. Black coloured with a lasting, thin, brown head. Taste is sweet roasted coffee and black currant. Some carbonation. Nice

Pours a pitch bloack with small ring of tan head. Full-bodied, almost syrupy. Roasty. Aroma of coffee. Malts, somewhat acidic. Chewey. Drinkability improves as it warms. Finish is initially bitter, then sweet.

Pouring this beer was almost shocking as it looked and moved like motor oil. Pitch black with a thick chocolately biege head. Complex roasted aroma. Deep roasted malt flavor with a bitter pleasant finish which seems to linger. Feels like the beer sits in your mouth.

Bottle ... poured like dirty motor oil with a frothy, creamy tan head. Extreme aroma of whisky, smoke and roast malt. The drink is almost fruity ... smashed berries on burnt toast, like. Dry tart finish. Light body.

Black as night with a khaki, thick foamy head. A very strong odor of alcohol and heavy notes of plums and raisins. Thick, malty, roasted flavor with a raisin aftertone. Not to shabby this one. Ends with a mild warming sensation.

Beautiful pour, opaque black with a very latent tan head... quickly diminishing. The aromas are initially powerful, mostly effervescent roasted coffee beans, choco malts and syrupy dark fruit resinous juices. The flavors don’t remind me of an Imp Stout, rather a very good normal stout. The malts, which are roasted, smoky and pleasant, aren’t overly exert, and the bitterness doesn’t bring the cream contingency past a carbonated mouthfeel. There is a sour raisin-prune aftereffect, and slight smoked bitters.... Nothing truly imperial, per se, but a darn good brew nonetheless.
