obslop (2), Oceanside, California, USA does not count Aug 29, 2009 Spring ’08 release enjoyed August ’09. Amazingly smooth, textured and lush. An absolute A+ worthy beer! thefle (111), , New Jersey, USA Aug 26, 2009 nice nutty slightly smokey taste. mellow as hell for a 11% brew, go for it! MmmcKay (269), Brentwood, Tennessee, USA Aug 26, 2009 Age really smooths this beer out a lot. I questioned its high rating when I first tried it upon its early spring release. A little time really rounds this into quite a great beer. The overwhelming starbuck coffee aromas and flavors mellow. It becomes quite lush. Great beer to cellar. njmoons (52), New Jersey, USA Aug 26, 2009 One of the best beers I have ever had. Wonderful balance of Sweetness and bitterness.
A top 10 beer for me! pintocb (505), Darsville, Georgia, USA Aug 25, 2009 Cool. I’ve been down on stouts for a while, but I liked this one. Black as pitch. Dark brown head. Lots of lacing. Bitter coffee and pine trees in the nose followed by a chalky, smooth, chocolaty flavor. Rock on, Stone! BeerBaby (62), , Tennessee, USA Aug 24, 2009 Dark beer with a tall, tan, creamy head. Palate was thick, oily, chocolate aroma, with a dry chocolate taste. kwerikson (61), burlington, New Jersey, USA Aug 23, 2009 poured a thick foamy dark head that was nice and creamy. super dark and very viscouse with an assault on the senses. could taste dark chocolate and a tiny hint of the alcohol present. the aftertaste lingered for a little while wich was very pleasent. great brew and it also can be cellared for some time. Ober (1158), Bommelerwaard, Netherlands Aug 23, 2009 Mine 1000 rating on Ratebeer. A very dark black colored beer, with an almost dark brown thick foamy brown head. A nice lace. The aroma of dark sweet chocolate with fruits. Roasted malts and coffee. The taste is full of flavors, like bitter chocolate with some fruits and dry coffee. The aftertaste is dry, coffee and chocolate with a little sweet.
