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.

A black beer with a beutiful brown head. The aroma is powerful of chocolate with notes of alcohol and sweet malt. The flavor is roasted with strong notes of chocolate, but also notes of malt and coffee on a slightly acidic background. A really good beer.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of xproudfoot. Black and opaque with a small, light brown head. Aroma of lightly burned malt. Medium body with a discreet tartness. Some roasted malt with a vaguely burned note. Subdued bitterness from the malts. Generally a bit on the thin side for an Imperial Stout. 191206

Bottled. Dark black with very rich brown head. Chocolate and coffee aroma. Full bodied, hard black malts gives a touch of acidity, yet a velvetty mouthfeel prevails. Coffee finish.

Bottle. Dark brown coloured with a beige head. Sweet aroma of cocoa powder and dried fruits. Flavour of cocoa powder with notes of dried fruits and acidic notes. A disappointment from this great brewery.

Black, no head, no visible carbonation; aroma is toasty, espresso-like, but with a good shot of hop; fairly light bodied for style; chocolate fudge, sugar notes dominate a surprsingly straightforward palate. Smooth and oily body.

<i>Bottle at Brickskeller, Washington</i>
Black color. Some chocolate aroma, light dirty water too. Medium bodied, it has a soft chocolate flavor, some roasted malt, but it doesn’t seduce me.

Pitch body topped by medium mocha head. Aroma is strongly espresso. Taste is coffee bitter with small amount of chocolate that provides a mild sweetness -- alcohol unnoticed. The body is fairly light despite the viscosity of the pour. Ridiculously drinkable for the style and the alcohol content.
