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.

Smokey, chocolatey aroma with brown sugar and sweet barley malt. The flavor is quite roasty with some smoked fish elements and dark chocolate. Bit of tartness in the finish. A smokey, roasty big dry stout. Good stuff!

Black, thick dark brown head. Has a chocolate strawberry aroma, kinda like when i get cold stone ice cream and they mix chocolate ice cream with strawberrys and chocolate syrup. Light body, bitter chocolates then to coffee. Nice and light with some solid power.

The final beer of the evening, and what an evening it was. Taste is smooth and complex, roasted, malty, and very coffee like. A pretty good imperial stout, not something I could see aging though. Perhaps a little thin but who cares, its still good.

Pours with a three-finger light tan head that fades slowly and leaves a good lace. Black as coal, totally opaque. Good carbonation. Nose is roasted malts; Starts with a roasted chocolate/coffee flavor, finishes smooth with just a bit of bitterness. You don't notice the high ABV (8.0%). $2.10 for a 12oz bottle.

Thanks to moejuck for scoring this for me. Before I rate the beer, I’d have to mention the label is one of the most striking labels I’ve seen in awhile. Very cool! Here’s hoping the beer is as good. Aroma is roasted coffee beans, cream, some vanilla and burnt sugar. Appearance was jet black, minimal head. Mouthfeel was coating and slightly slick. Flavor were nice for a stout but I picked up nothing "imperial" about this. It was nicely balanced but I do like my impy stouts to be over the top and this just didn’t do it. Not to say this isn’t good, because it is very good..for a stout. Flavors were coffe, bitter chocolate, and some vanilla. It was missing the smoke and bitterness I love about imperials. Good beer, simply not a impy stout.

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.
