3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20Enjoyed from a 22oz bomber in a pub glass. The beer pours a medium to deep amber color, with a medium white to slightly off-white head. The nose initially brings a strong character of west coast hops, followed by moderate to heavy notes of crystal malts and perhaps some continental character malts. Finally, some alcohol is detectable in the aroma, but it stops short of being overpowering or unpleasant. The palate is large and full, again first showing a significant level of bitterness, especially given the beer’s gravity and the undoubtedly heavy malt bill. Flavors then transfer to toffee, fresh baked bread, and some depth added by the alcohol on the back end. Overall, the lightness of the beer was decieving, as it deftly hid its abv. Very nicely done, another very well-crafted beer from Stone.

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
650 ml bottle (2012 edition, 11.2% ABV). Clear coppery colour, thin tan head. Fruity aroma of caramel, malt, piney hops and hints of vanilla. The flavour is caramel-malty at first, but that is quickly replaced by a massive dose of grapefruit-pine hops. Very tasty.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draft at Memphis. Pours a murky brown with thick beige head and protruding ringed lace. Aroma or caramel, toffee, rubbing alcohol, nail polish remover, pine. Boozy as hell. I used to love this so I’ll be kind to it ratings wise.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottled. Pours clear amber in color with a small tan head. Burnt sugar, some slightly boozy notes and a bit of forrest in aroma. Slightly sweet and some boozy notes in taste. A bit of a let down as usual with
these Stone’s brews. Too boozy and too sweet, although there’s some grassy bitterness towards the finish.

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Had this multiple Times but first time rating it. Mahogany in color, the aroma promises butterscotch, dark fruit, caramel, vanilla and honey which the taste promptly delivers along with some hints of cocoa, citrus and slight herbal tones. Very good indeed!
