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
Old Heathen is available year-round.
THEE BEST IMPERIAL STOUT that Ive ever had. With testament to all the empty six pack cartons I have. I truly hope that my local bev. store continues to stock this, or I’m going to have to learn how to make this myself. Thankyou!!!
Now that’s the stuff right there. Getting hard to find down here in Florida, though.
What an outstanding Imperial Stout! Ranks at the top of my list with another from Greenwich, UK. Keep up the great brewing and hope to visit and tour the brewery next time I’m back home.
[...] Weyerbacher Old Heathen Imperial Stout is a really good beer. I am fond of imperial stouts – they’re delicious – but you can’t drink too many at a time because they’re quite rich. This one is smooth and fairly sweet, with a hint of fruity. There’s a bit of a bright bite to it, and a pleasing aftertaste. I recommend! [...]

Best Imperial Stout ever!! Heading out to PA this weekend to pick myself up a keg for the Holiday Season…..
My local Total Wine store told me that this beer is being discontinued. Is that correct?
Incorrect. Hops Infusion is being discontinued. Old Heathen is very much alive and well!
I found that I had packed away two bottles of this about 6-7 years ago. Unearthed wrapped in old band t-shirts this year after being in a tupperware container in a basement. About to open in 10-15 minutes…should be either really really good or really really bad LOL. Hoping for the better of the two options. Also have a raspberry stout that is going to be opened.
Oof – good luck!
One of my favorite stouts! Very close to that Michigan State Morning meal stout. excellent!
LOL!
