Nov 28, 2008 22oz bottle. Pours a bright, clear, tarnished-copper / orange color; off-white head with patchy, mixed-bubbled lacing. Good amounts of Belgian sugars, honey, and white pepper in the aroma; reasonably dry; touch of apple cider. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: lots of white pepper, dry honey, some dustiness and thick Belgian sugars; a bit overly sweet at the edges, very lively carbonation, and just overall a bit rougher than I’d like; still, a generous and reasonably tasty tripel. Lengthy finish: toastiness, honey, white pepper, and some breadiness; nicely dry and toasty end.

Nov 28, 2008 Bottle. Nice golden pour, with a strong banana/clove aroma. Flavor is much of the same, fairly straight forward and tasty. Well done. I tip my glass to Sawyer.

Nov 26, 2008 Had on tap at Stone world bistro.Pours a cloudy amber with some orange hue and an off-white head. Nose is spicey with some earthiness, along with hints of yeast and vanilla. Taste has candy sugar, more vanilla and earth tones, and some alcohol notes. Carbonated body with some sharpness to it. Finishes very well with little aftertaste, some lingering spice. A very tastey brew for a very worthy cause!

Nov 20, 2008 Bomber purchased from Stone on 11/15/08. This seems similar to the Vertical Epic 08 but not quite as tasty. Its a lighter yellow color and alot of banana peel on the finish. A bit less hop than the other (VE 08) but easy to drink.

Nov 17, 2008 On tap at stone bistro
Pours a golden yellow color with a nice white head. Aroma of yeast, esthers, spices. Flavor is artificial fruity, banana, spices, yeast, citrus and malt but it seemed a little off for me. Still a decent brew, make sure to support the cause and pick up a pint or some bottles if you’re ever at the Stone Bistro.
