May 10, 2009 This was awesome up till a year in but then it hint the fan. Pours an orange golden body with a white head. Citrus, grass, floral notes pear and hop character. Like i said at one point it was more like a 4.1 but as for now its drinking more like a 3.8. Ill rate this one as i remember it fresh.

May 3, 2009 Bottle shared at Butter’s Big Cellar Blowout. Hazy amber orange pour with lacing ring of light tan head. Nose is a nice hoppy malty balance. Flavor is like a barleywine, with some apparent hop profile. Excellent job of hiding abv, but still a pleasant warming experience.

May 3, 2009 Butters Big Blowout - Pours a cloudy amber with off-white head. Floral hops, caramel and notes of citrus. Similar flavor. Slight hop bitter finish. Thick, sticky mouthfeel. Excellent Imperial Double IPA. I want more of this!

May 3, 2009 My last beer at Butter’s cellar reduction blowout. Typing is taking me a bit longer now. A few more typos than there used to be. I’m drunk. Hurray beer. Really malty for a IPA. The hops have faded. Barley wine now. Amber color. Caramel aromas. Nice texture on the palate. Lack of hop characteristics are a bit disappointing. Oh well. I still love Stone!!! Yes I’m a Stone Fanboy.

May 3, 2009 Bottle at Butters Big Cellar Blowout. Pours an off-white head and an amber body. Smells of mellow hops and some caramel. Taste is caramel, spice and fruit hops. The hops are mellowed. Finish has some bitterness.

Apr 7, 2009 Poured amber with a white head. Aroma of citrus and pine. I wasn’t that impressed with this. Some lemon and orange flavor. Boozy.

Mar 27, 2009 Pours an opaque orange amber color. Thin off-white head with decent retention and lacing. Aroma is complex, with dominant citrus and floral hop notes. Flavor is even more complex, with some very sweet caramel notes balancing out the hop bitterness. Mouthfeel is thick and slightly viscous but very smooth and hides the alcohol well. Absolutely outstanding. I can only imagine what it would have been like fresh.
savnac (394), Palmer, Alaska, USA
Mar 21, 2009 22 oz bottle. Aged about 2 years in the bottle. Very citrus, floral, sweet and alcoholic aroma. Hazy orange with an off white thick head leaving some nice lace. The flavor is big in every way, sweet, bitter, and strong alcohol. Thick mouth feel. Very intense beer, like others have stated almost more of a barley wine, but maybe that’s the aging coming through.
