| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Aug 4, 2008 RBSG on tap. Fruity nose, and deep amber in color. This was a really good Ale, and I could clearly taste the wine flavor in it. It made for a big mouthful, like the flavors were moving, hitting different parts of the tastebuds. rudolf (1783), Buffalo, New York, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 19, 2008 Bottle from Dirtymartini - thanks! Hazy gold, thinnish white head. Nose is cardamom, clove, had candy, yeast. Flavor is yeasty clove & cardamom, a little cherry. Slight astringency in the earthy, floral finish. Oakes (8139), Kowloon, Hong Kong
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 25, 2008 Dull ruddy amber with no head. Well, Stone isn’t always a slick production I guess. Sugary aroma mixes 7-Up, red wine, wood, coriander and caramel. Not entirely cohesive. Sweet, sugary body with pleasant vinous notes and a yeasty, spicy accent. Dries into a relatively alcoholic finish. chrisafari (100), Orange, California, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | May 20, 2008 Growler Fill @ Stone. Pours a deep amber, orange, red with a small thin white head. Sweet aroma of orange and lime with a slight spice. Taste begins sweet and citrusy but quickly the alcohol, complexity and spicy notes come in. Super smooth on the palate, goes down nicely. Very complex, but very good. Beershine (2754), Traipsing Around, Cambodia
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 28, 2008 Draught at Stone World Bistro. Hazy auburn, flat looking. Aroma of lemon and Montrachet, nice! Ginger comes out a little in the flavors, leaving a slight burn in back of throat. Soft mouthfeel, complex and lovely. JorisPPattyn (5192), Antwerpen, Belgium
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Apr 22, 2008 Draught Reddish colour, no head. This is mind-blowing! Red fruit, red wine, berries and fruitjuices, super beer, complexely layered as an onion. Tart taste, fruit with oranges, strawberries, light-red eating grapes, cranberries, and very discreet hops and vanilla. Light to medium bodied (!) impression, acidburn. This is absolutely stunning - wow! - especially the nose. ajm (950), Los Angeles, California, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Mar 14, 2008 It’s real boss. The aroma and flavor are the highlights. Already a wine-y brew, the red wine aromasd and textures from the barrel only enhance. Would very much like to have again. bu11zeye (5621), Frisco, Texas, USA
