Now that there is an evening chill, you may be looking for something that will provide a little warmth along with great taste. Well, here you go: the excellent brewers at Weyerbacher have given us Old Heathen Imperial Stout. Espresso and dark chocolate notes dominate with a little dark fruit sweetness to deliver a jet black smooth brew that rates an A on Beeradvocate. And at 8% ABV, it'll warm you up too! Pick some up on your next stop.

Here's what Weyerbacher has to say about this beer:

Rich, velvety and deliciously complex, Old Heathen (8.0% ABV) is a truly distinctive stout. We use seven types of malt and two varieties of hops to bring forth this big brew. Quite robust and roasty on the palate, Old Heathen Imperial Stout has a wonderfully fruity nose and a moderately dry finish. The taste is highly complex – perhaps you’ll even discern notes of espresso or chocolate. 

Old Heathen Imperial Stout is our interpretation of a beer style that originated in the 18th century. Brewed in England and exported to Germany, Scandinavia and Russia, these beers became fashionable among the members of the Czar’s court. In order to survive long voyages they were brewed with high alcohol content to prevent spoilage. 

Like most of our beers, Weyerbacher Old Heathen is a perfect accompaniment to foods. Try it with rich stews, oysters, caviar or roasted meats. Old Heathen is also a perfect companion to chocolate desserts.
