Sep 26, 2009 Bottle. Light brown in colour with off white head. Rich aroma of hops, malt with some chocolate character too. Quite a complex beer, deep and rich flavours, with lots of malt fruitines and quite a bitter finish. There is alcoholic warmth but its not over powering. This is not a beer for the faint hearted or those that consider Crown Lager a "good"beer. Definately a beer for the beer geeks among us, thank god for Stone!

Sep 19, 2009 Dark brown, beige head. Aroma has a bit of hops, swedish fish, and alcohol. Decent bitterness, a lot of sweetness, brown sugar, caramel and alcohol. Dryness picks up toward the finish. Not too sticky for the full body, but there’s a fumy alcohol that I don’t like.

Sep 18, 2009 Bottle. Pours deep, deep brown, nearly black, with a beautiful, creamy tan head. Aroma of bitter coffee, hints of chocolate, malts, and a bit of hops. Body is solid with a sturdy, crisp finish. Outrageous, epic brew. Truly epic.
