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 avialable 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.

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! [...]
