This is an incredibly intriguing ale is made by aging our Old Heathen Imperial Stout in oak barrels that were used for making fine Kentucky bourbon! The result is an extraordinary, dark, and mysterious stout whose very essence has been enhanced. The aroma is filled with vanilla, cocoa, and roasted coffee beans.
This silky-smooth brew has notes of oak, whiskey, roasted barley and vanilla that meld together on the tongue to create an incredible sensation.
Heresy is released in February.

I love this beer dearly. It changed my life, and it changed my customers’ lives. I can’t wait till next Feb. Wish you could make it year round…or KEG it??!?!
xoxo
Very nice, medium bodied dark ale. The oak adds a pleasant smoothness. Hope i can can continue to get it in Minnesota
Just an FYI Scott, Heresy is a February Seasonal so when what you see runs out, you will not see it again until then! Enjoy it while you have it!

My beer guy was spot on in recommending ‘Heresy.’ Wow! What a terrific stout. I became an immediate devotee upon the first sip. Now I’m getting my grubby little paws on as much of it as possible.
“Heresy” was my introduction to Weyerbach and “15″ was my follow up. Sometimes life is very good!
We will be making Heresy again very soon for release in February. Put it on your calendar! You can also try Insanity, which is our barrel aged barleywine. CW
Lucky me! I was able to score the last bottle of Heresy at the local pub. The bar keep remembered seeing a stray bottle in the backroom cooler. One of my few FTW moments this past year.
Anxiously waiting ’til February. Tough choice but I think Insanity will be the first one opened.
This is another beer I’d love to see in 6-packs, as a year-round release.
Again 4packs but no year-round. I have to see my wife on occasion. CW
Brilliant Beer…I am a big fan of stouts and porters and this is one of the best I have ever had.
[...] Heresy – Weyerbacher – Imperial Stout aged in Oak barrels — This one had many thumbs up. Perhaps one of the favorites of the tasting. Commets ran like “full body with strong aroma of bourbon”, “like chocolate Jack Daniels, very smooth”. None of the tasters panned this one. [...]
Hi, I was wondeirng how long i can age heresy?
Opinions vary – I love mine the older the better. I’ve got it in my cellar going back to 2005 and it’s dong F-I-N-E!
Thanks i was worried i just bought two cases and they said freshed before Oct 2011. I didnt think that made sense
Yeah… we sorta have to put SOMETHING on the box, I mean the beer will change with time. It is MY opinion that it gets BETTER. ;^)
Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick Beer…New Belgium 1554 used to be my favorite black ale….Go Magic!
Next batch of Heresy, keep two barrels aside for a full 12 months ala Founders KBS as a Brewer’s Reserve. The complexity of the beer from extra 11 months Oak aging will be well worth the wait!
This is the best beer I’ve had in a long time will it be available again soon….?
March, 2012!
