beer_name: Heresy
text: Black pour, honest tan head for a beer of this magnitude, leaving a nice cover after a few minutes. Big aroma, fruity, chocolatey with obvious bourbon and oak notes. I dont recognize the melon bubble-gum characteristics of the old heathen, but its fruitier than most, grapeish somewhat. Sweet palate full of vanilla and tartish woody, minty and roasty notes. It doesnt really have anything to set it apart from other barrel-aged imperials Ive had, but theyre all pretty good, arent they? Not so big bodied, lets call it medium bodied and carbonation is restrained. It doesnt have the grace of movements nor intensity of a speedway, but its also a good deal cheaper and a great value + easy to drink for the style.
