text: I figured Weyerbacher would probably do a pretty good job with this style of beer, and sure enough they make a very good RIS. Pours an impressive dark color, with decent foam retention and fairly good lacing. On the nose I get a lot of coffee and chocalate, with a touch of sweet vanilla. On the palate this is a very nice beer indeed. It is not particularly heavy or intense, but with nice soft, smooth, sweet chocolate/coffee flavors. Although sweet, there is just a hint of dryness on the mid palate, which makes this beer all the more drinkable. On the impressive finish, I even pick up a trace of cherry along with the chocolate and coffee. The beer is surprisingly drinkable, and I have to say I appreciate the fact the abv. is "only" 8%. With an abv. like that, I might even be able to have a second glass. A winner from Weyerbacher.
