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.

12 oz. Very dark brown pour with a minimalistic brown head. Retained a ring throughout and stuck to the sides of the glass just slightly. Nice roasty aromas, malt, coffee and light chocolate, just a hint of hops. Creamier mouthfeel than I was expecting, pretty nice. Taste is quite similar to the aromas. There is some dark plum or other red fruit in their also. I like these imperials that are below 10%, less boozy and very drinkable. It doesn’t have the complexity that the big boys have, but is excellent in it’s own right. Especially since I think Weyerbacher produces quite a few overly boozy brews.

With great thanks to HogTownHarry - 2005 bottle. Pitch black with a lovely cappuccino foam coloured thick head. Aroma: Chocolate, rich coffee, malt, some good hops, quite milky with vanilla. Flavour: Initially bitter with coffee, malt, chocolate, I don’t taste the alcohol at all, thin mouth feel and a nice long malt finish.

Black with creamy brown head. Rich milk chocolate aroma. Feels creamy with a great cocoa and coffee taste that leaves a good bitterness.

Sampled at the Impromptu Butter’s 6th cellar clearance. Very dark clear brown pour with chestnut highlights and ring of dark tan head. Very sweet caramel molassis, chocolate, roast, lactic flavor. Medium creamy body. Great name.

Pours a tan head with a dark brown body. Smells of toast and candy sugar. Tastes like toast and candy sugar. Bit thin but good and sour.

I can’t help but think of Badgerben while drinking this. Cheers buddy! Not much head in my delirium snifter and charcoal black. Aroma of creamy chocolate and roasted malts. Some roasted malts in the body, chocolate as well. Some mild dark fruits in the finish. Mostly boozy throughout though.
