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 bottle from Ohio. Opaque black with small burnt tan head. Aroma is heavy roasted malt and some chocolate, sweeter. Flavor is about to go sour as oxidation is just beginning to occur but the flavors are still strong with once again a very dominant roast flavor, some darker fruit, some lactose, sweeter dirty malt, Full, thick, chunky body with light carbonation. Very enjoyable and one of the better beers I have had from weyerbacher.

12oz bottle. Black w/dark brown edges and a lasting tan head. Caramelized and burnt sugars along with chocolate in the aroma. The flavor is mellow and smooth dark chocolate with light fruitiness and light bitterness. Medium-bodied with mellow, lower carbonation. Definitely on the balanced, quaffable end of the style. I would have no reservations about ordering another, but at the same time its not the most exciting stout.

Pours a dark black color with a small tan head that fades quickly to a thin film. The aroma is of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, anise, and ripe dark fruits. The flavor follows suit with the roasted coffee and chocolate up front followed by the ripe dark fruits and some bitterness on the back end. Not quite as roasty as I would have thought. Medium bodied and very smooth and easy to drink with a long, fruity finish. Pretty tasty stout.

Strong burnt aroma. This is an all around ok stout. very dry. burnt character. Nice stoutness that reaches all corners of the mouth. This is not a nutty warm-weather companion. I would suggest this one cold and in the night of winter.

12oz bottle from Willow Bend Liquors (Tampa, FL). Pours a murkey dark brown to black with a massive tan creamy head that settles slowly and heavily laces the glass. Aroma is rich and roasty with notes of vanilla, dark chocolate, coffee, toffee, caramel, ripe dark fruit. Flavor is roasted and malty with notes of milk chocolate, ripe dark fruit, toffee, coffee, vanilla, smoke, wood, hints of caramel and honey. Generally medium to full body with a pleasing malt finish.
