Dec 18, 2005 Deep brown with mahogany highlight. The aroma is choclatey with a slight burnt note and some plum sweetness. A nice balance of fruity sweetness and chocolate malts work great in the body. Smooth mouthfeel and slightly bitter finish. The yeast plays such a backseat roll, this comes off more like a Doppelbock than a Belgian. Good stuff anyways.

Nov 22, 2009 Bottle shared by swoopjones. Dark amber color. Caramelized sugar and dark fruit aroma. Pears, plum and dark cherry accompanied by some toasty malts. Seems a little oxidized and a bit past its prime, I don’t think this will hold up until 2012.

Oct 21, 2007 Dak brown with small ring likr laceing. Aroma of raisins, plums, and brown sugar. The taste was the same with light cardboard notes. Nice rich mouthful with dry light chalky finish.

Jul 3, 2007 Dark porter look. Dark chocolate brown with a razor thin tan head. Sweet bubblegum esters. Tutti fruiti w some dark malt character. Gives a bit of roast, some minor chocolate and definite prune/ raisin. A full creamy mouthfeel with relatively average CO2 w the slightest bit of syrupiness (appropriate). A raisiny sweetness, less outstanding than the nose, though still very good indeed. Alcohol comes up a bit with some oxidized dark fruit, hints of chocolate, and roast. Really good balance. A dry lingering roast w some dark fruit. a bit creamy up front. Reminds me of an aged barleywine. Rather vinous, I wish I had more!

Jun 20, 2005 Pours a thick deep brown with a deeply tanned head. Aromas of brown sugar, vanilla, clove and chocolate. Flavors are leaning on the alcohol and phenolics. Body is rather thick for any style belgian. Somewhat syrupy. The finish is somewehat lasting, but it’s the finish more of a way overpowered porter rather than any belgian style ale with secondary alcohols really playing a dominant role. This could benefit greatly from 10% unrefined sugar. This might be the first Stone beer that I think was made poorly.

Jan 3, 2006 I don’t know. This beer has nothing going for it. It has that damned really sweet flavor that all of the Stone beers have. It tastes nothing like a Belgian strong ale. It tastes like every other Stone beer I’ve ever had just like a montage of them all. Not good hoppy like their pale ales. Not alcoholic like their strong ales. Just a shit of everything

Jun 14, 2006 smells just awesome. tons of dark fruit, a little alcohol, very malty. most importantly, it just smells great. looks pretty good, but i demand more out of the head than this. taste is easy but unchallenging. pretty alcoholic for an 8.5.

Oct 10, 2005 At Argo0’s: While reading my beer stained notes, i couldn’t figure out what Stone Osasos was :-)
A very solid belgian brown. Very well done.
