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.

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.

12 oz bottle courtesy of Beerlando back from our first trade of late summer / early fall. Bottles pours a very dark blackish brown thick pour with red grape juice hints and a bigger than moderate brown heade that begins to dissipate, but cakes largely. Laces well. Aromas are a nice combination of roast, creamy chocolate and caramel, mixed with a touch of hot booziness, coffee cake, and light vanilla. Initial is moderate in body for the style, picking up some good roast, coffee, chocolate, caramel and vanilla completing the "sundae" effect. There is some warming booze, but nothing too rough. The bittering roast and coffee (which didn’t make much of an appearance in teh nose) is strong, sustained, yet not overpowering. Dark fruits and smoke make a bit of an appearance further into the body. Very good all around, just lacking stand out qualities or a defining factor. Cheers!

What’s not to like? Great creamy head, coffee lovers will feel magical. Also conveys a certain smokiness.
