Weyerbacher Old Heathen

An incredibly good Stout, almost black in color, has a good balance of rich coffee and chocolate hints to it. An enjoyable beer to sip, and I agree about how the flavor lingers with Volgon. The best beer from a great microbrewery, probably my favorite beer of all.

This beer looks so good pouring in a glass, with its jet black color and small brownish head. The taste is just as pleasing, with chocolate and coffee in a thick texture only an Imp. Stout can deliver.

Now THIS is a great stout! Forget the overrated drag that is Guinness. Weyerbacher has made an excellent stout that doesn't have the makeup of mud yet still retains that favorite used motor oil color. Oh yeah, it tastes great, too. For those of ye who are not big stout fans (such as myself), do give Old Heathen a try.

Poured syrupy thick and very very dark black, with a brown head. Nose rich, malty, with hints at plums, dates, and vanilla. Flavor more of the same, and superbly balanced between the dark fruit malts and a roasted bitterness. Outstanding Imperial Stout, and a must have for any lover of the style.

An excellent, chewy brew! The complexity of this Imperial can be compared to any other Imperial of it’s caliber, but Weyerbacher just hits it right on the drunken head @ 8.2%

Ding ding ding We have a winner Me vieron cara de pendejo despues de pedir el sampler (gracias gordo cerote) Pero me reivindique Barbaro!

Very black with a big dark brown head. Aroma of roasted coffee and a little chocolate. Flavor is sweeter and less bitter than most Imperial stouts. Body is thick and creamy. Dry finish. Alcohol is well hidden.
