brewblackhole (1366), Muskego, Wisconsin, USA Jun 29, 2006 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 NachlamSie (1630), Tennessee, USA Jun 28, 2006 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. hophead75 (1945), Boonton, New Jersey, USA Jun 24, 2006 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.... gputty (456), Virgina Beach, Virginia, USA Jun 22, 2006 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. AlKHall (161), West Hartford, Connecticut, USA Jun 21, 2006 Truly Blasphemous! Dark, rich appearance with roasted aroma. Flavor is burnt chocolate and malty , sweet coffee. Very robust oldrtybastrd (1801), Morlautern, Germany/Great Falls, Montana, USA Jun 13, 2006 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. ehhdayton (1113), USA Jun 12, 2006 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 . TrevorFloyd (309), Connecticut, USA Jun 10, 2006 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...
