Score: 3.4
picking up a lot of spicyness in the aroma with the ripe fruits,
the hot alcohol character has faded but is replaced with a big earthy presence that is drying it out too much and obscuring the ripe fruits, dark caramel is the only thing to stand up to the spicy and earthy bitterness, not sure where this beer is headed but I liked it better fresh

(22oz bottle, thanks kmweaver) Clear dark red-brown body with small tan head. Aroma is moderately sweet, chocolate, candi sugar, some Belgian yeast, caramel, banana, raisin. Taste is medium sweet, chocolate, some banana, light Belgian yeast. Medium body with some alcohol roughness. Seems more like a Weizenbock.

Hazy dark brown - amber beer. Short lived tan head. Semi soft palate. Smooth malt with a little coca cola and a sublte pinch of spice. Finishes semi dry. Simple but drinkable.

Thanks to Schultsc for this bomber. Pours very dark brown/black with a few beige bubbles. Aromas of roasted dark malt and plum/raisin. Near full in body. The malt is sufficient to initially suggest cola. Then the fruit comes and goes, leaving a very roasty dark malt flavor. So it’s malt, fruit, spice, malt. Every time. It’s very smooth. There’s a bitterness off setting the malt sweetness, but it may be from the roast rather than hop. The alcohol is very subdued. Certainly suffered no harm from aging.

Bottle. Poured black color with a large off-white head that lasted with good lacing. Moderate caramel malty and tart citrus aroma. Medium bodywith soft carbonation. Medium balanced flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. This is another Stone standout beer.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Dunkelmalziger Antrunk mit hohem Hefanteil, gleichzeitig frisch und hell zwischen den vielen dunkelmalzigen Noten. Dann konzentruert sich das Bier wieder eher auf das dunkle und nun weich röstige Malz, dazu ist eine gewisse Süße unbestreitbar. Süffig, gleichzeitig vollmundig, absolut gelungen. Gut! 10/11/12/12/11/12
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Dark brown ale with a thin off white head. A bit sweeter in aroma than 05. In mouth, more malty with definite chocolate notes, less licorice and less alcohol in mouth, still a very smooth ale. Enjoyed on tap at BCTC 2006.
