12 ounce bottle into snifter. Pours thick opaque black color with a small, fairly dense 1 finger dark tan head with good retention, that reduces to a thin lacing cap that lasts. A small amount of lacing sticks to the glass as well. Aromas of big charcoal, oak, roasted malt, chocolate, vanilla, and a bit of coffee. Aromas of smoked meat were present as well as it warmed up. Very nice and strong aromas here. A lot of complexity. Taste of huge chocolate, caramel, smoke, coffee, vanilla, and tons of roasted malt. Lingering notes of bitter coffee, smoke, chocolate, and roasted flavors on the finish that last a while. Light carbonation and huge full body. The mouthfeel on this beer is heaven. Super creamy, smooth, and as drinkable as a beer of 11% could be. This beer is super rich, without being boozy at all. Alcohol is hidden perfectly in this, I am not really noticing any except for a slight warming on the finish. Overall, and absolutely incredible smoked imperial stout from Weyerbacher. I will be grabbing more if I see it around for sure.

12oz bottle poured into a snifter
Bottled 2010, nearly 9 years old

A- pours dark black in color with a one-finger creamy khaki colored head that eventually reduces to a ring around the edge

S- plenty of smoked malts on the nose that gives aromas of smoked pork, campfire & burnt brown sugar. Undertones of anise, molasses, banana, raisin, blackberry & leather, quite complex

T- smoke is consistent but not overpowering up front, with notes of campfire, smoked pork, even some peat-like qualities. Mid-palate brings out notes of chocolate, tobacco, black strap molasses & dark berries. The finish gives notes of soy sauce, as well as a umami effect, quite bold linger with more smoke and soy sauce

M- medium body with moderate carbonation leads to slightly foamy mouthfeel and a silky finish

O- still plenty of smoke to be found after all these years, oxidation is definitely present but still very tasty overall

From tasting notes. L: Pours like a super strong black coffee crowned by the darkest brown finely bubbled 3” foam cap that I have seen in a long time. The cap has a very fine bead and is very persistent. S: Coffee, wine and alcohol on the nose with a faint hint of smoke. T: Alcohol and malt dominate the palate with rich coffee flavors aided by a hefty dose of chocolate. The smokiness on the palate is restrained – just enough to notice and not enough to overpower. F: Very creamy soft on the palate with a medium full to full body and medium low carbonation. O: I would drink this after dinner like a glass of port or sherry – it is very rich.
