Weyerbacher Heresy

$5.99/22oz, 8% ABV

Heresy is Weyerbacher's Old Heathen Imperial Stout, aged in oak bourbon barrels. Old Heathen is a respectable stout (high praise from me), but not quite to the level of North Coast's Old Rasputin. Heresy adds a lot of complexity- velvety taste, with a nice mix of vanilla, caramel and coffee. Very smooth, carries the alcohol well. Not as sharp or dry as I usually like Imperial Stouts (more like an oatmeal stout, really), but very good nonetheless. Thumbs up.
