Weyerbacher Raspberry Imperial Stout

Bonus brew sent by MrBendo. Pour is black with a big, foamy head. Aroma is chocolatey rasberry and roasted malt. Flavor isn’t bad...sweet fruit and roastiness. A little thin and simple, but better than expected.

zoo4 vintage 12 oz bottle shared with the Fight Night drinking crew and supplied by richlikebeer, thanks Rich. Pours a solid black with a slight brown head. Aroma has tons of raspberry, some slight plastic notes, hickory bbq sauce, roastiness. Thin to medium bodied with barely any carbonation remaining and a sliight touch of bitterness on the finish. Flavor is superior to the aroma with lots of raspberry, roastiness, chocolate. Not sure how much longer this one will last but it is still hanging in there nicely.

12 oz. bottle pours a reddish-black coffee color with sparse, loose caramel colored head with little retention. Front palate is of dark, bittler chocolate/cocoa with a roasted malt middle and a bitter finish, coffee aftertaste. Not too fruity, but not the best imperial stout I’ve had.

Thanks to mrbendo for this one. Black pour with a thin tan head. Aroma was berries, roasted malt, and coffee. Flavor isn’t overpowering raspberry, which was nice. Some coffee, roasted malts, caramel, and orange peal round this out. Finishes slightly bitter with some sweet raspberry notes. Interesting.

12 oz. Bottle. Beer is black with a medium brown head. Raspberries are noticeable in the aroma as is a slight hint of alcohol. Some raspberry tartness present in the flavor along with a bit of chocolate malt and roasted barley. Body is a bit too thin for an imperial stout and it lacks the robust malt profile usually associated with this type of beer. Some bitterness in the finish and the beer feels a bit overly carbonated. Not bad, but the flavors don’t meld quite as well as I’d hoped.
