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.

Fruit to roast...thin head...atop a black body. Consistent. Black cherry chocolate malt. It is not too strong at the beginning or too weak at the end. The aroma hits the nose outside the glass. oily.

Pours a great colour. Deep black, with hints of dark red hue near the bottom. Head is tan colour, quickly dissipates but comes back something fierce with each sip. Mouthfeel is light, creamy strong, black coffee, toffee and beef jerky. Taste is great, very filling and meaty(?) Smokey is another way to describe it. Overall very tastey. Thanks Alex!

12oz bottle @ home from the Wine Seller in Alpharetta. Pours an impenetrable black shade of brown. The head is tan, thick and with medium persistence. Wonderful taste, nice and dry, classic stout. You cannot detect one ounce of the 8%+ ABV... very well done. Weyerbacher continues to impress.

Bottle. Black pour with a big tan head. Aroma is fruity with an underlying roastiness. Flavor is fruity, sweet and roasted with a little chocolate in there. Very interesting beer.

Bottle. Pours dark brown with a cola brown head. Sweet aroma, with coffee, caramel, fruit, and a slight lactic note that I might be imagining because it doesn’t show up in the flavor. Medium body, a bit thin for a stout. Flavor is lightly roasted, lightly burnt , with coffee and caramel. A good beer, just not very impressive.
