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.

Oaky, fruity, malt aroma, with some choclate and alcohol overtones, dark brown black color, chocolate cake and coffee taste, ok maybe with some raisins in the cake, some hop flavor evident, definite hop bitterness,high carbonation give it a slightly thin mouthfeel,but still a wonderful Imperial

bottle. Pours stark black in any reasonable light with a dark tan, firm head. The aroma is bittersweet of smoked hickory, espresso (btw, the misspelling in the official description here really bothers me) thin caramel, and more robust chocolate. This is a very dense brew. It’s powerfully similar to that smoky, caramelly flavor of espresso with a coating wall of dark mocha. The aftertaste is quite nutty, reminiscent perhaps of almonds. There are mild fruitier notes trying to penetrate, but they aren’t strong enough for me to really evaluate them. This is a highly pleasing brew.

bottle. Black with a tan head. Aroma is heavy caramel, coffee, roasted malts, and hops. Taste is about the same, slightly bitter throughout the pallet....

From bottle. Pours black with creamy coffee head. Nose is bitter coffee, a sour vinousness, and hints of chocolate. Flavor has a bitter grapefruit component up front, moving into a coffee and lemon finish. Somewhat sour overall. Seems like the hops were overdone on this one, but still an interesting brew.

RATING # - 1200 - Pours a nice black. Coffee/chocolate and little tobacco aroma. Flavor is awesome, rich and smooth, like roasted espresso loaded with dark bitter chocolate and kinda sweet. The alcohol is well hidden among the massive flavors.

A moderate roasted aroma with hints of chocolate and dark fruit greet the nose. The flavor is a blend of roasted coffee, chocolate, and dark fruit with a bittersweet finish on the palate. The color is a dark black with a huge tan head of considerable duration .

The first Weyerbacher product that really wowed me. Hits all the appropriate notes for an Imperial, a little bit of a silky feel to the body, excellent. Now I hope I can track down a bottle of the Heresy...
