.Pours the brownest of the browns..
.has at least a 2-3 finger power coppertone head.
..smell is actually quite similar to bigfoot but with a lighter burnt fruit smell profile.
..Taste is of smoke,fig,plum,bitter coffee, lots of dark oddland fruits- interesting to say the least.
..Very enjoyable..
.Smooth as silk, and the alcohol is sooo well masked!.
I think this is worthy of an anniversary brew!

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 18, 2007 Darker brown pour with a medium tan-beige head. Aroma is sweet with some dominant citrus and floral hops along with some nice rye and darker fruit. Flavor has a pleasant grass/citrus hoppiness wth some rye, honey, molasses, and a good overall sweetness. Nice brew - would be extremely unique if it weren’t for Stone 11th Anniversary - it doesn’t match the Stone, but its still a really good brew! hayduke (1654), Eureka, California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 11, 2009 This was a gift. Poured a rich brown with a fat creamy head. Nose of rich malts, ripe fruit, and some chocolate. Rich creamy mouthfeel. Lots of flavor with carmel mats dominating. Very nice bitter finish. Butters (1650), Virginia, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 3, 2009 Shared at Butters Big Blowout, which Barrios picked for his 400th rating. Very dark brown pour with red highlights and solid dark tan head with good lacing. Nose is rummy, bourbon, i’d almost think this is oak aged, hints of ginger. Complex melding of molassis, milk chocolate, oak, vanilla. Medium full body with a creamy texture. Terrific job of hiding the alcohol.
