Entered to celebrate my 2200th US rating. Draft at Stone Bistro. A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt, red wine, wood, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and wine, leading to a lightly tart finish.

From tap at Stone Bistro. Pours clear orange with a fully gone head. Mild spiced and wineous aroma. Holds a mild initial spice note in the flavour but is otherwise dominated by a smooth and light fruity flavour. Remains this way into a finish that winous fruity.

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.

(Draft) Pours a clear amber body with a small off-white head. Aroma of coriander, herbs, vanilla, and caramel. Flavor of sweet malts, coriander, clove, vinous, banana, bread, light citrus, and a touch of vanilla.

Draft... RBSG ’08... Hazy golden ale. The aroma is a restrained marriage of tangy, woodsy and grainy notes. Full-bodied with a whole-milk mouthfeel and feather-soft carbonation. Perfect mingling of tanginess, sweetness and very light bitterness. Maybe a touch of caramel. The short finish provides quick glimpses of fruit and acidity. Tasty!

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.

Orange-copper color, medium cloudiness, small white head. Big, thick, musty fusel nose, some soap, some stinging chemicals… strange. I guess that’s the wine character in the aroma… it actually shows up well on the back of the palate… up front it’s semi-sweet fruity, soapy of coarse, but the wine barrel tannins explode on the back, quickly drying, but still somewhat metallic and soap-heavy. Sweet and messy, no surprise, that’s how the 07 was.
