Commercial Description:
Stone 13th Anniversary Ale pours brilliant deep red with a light tan foam. Up front, the aroma is all piney, resinous and citrus hops. Upon tasting, the hops are still on the front, and they are balanced with the malty, toffee like flavors contributed from the blend of crystal and amber malts used in the brewhouse. The finish is deliciously bitter, with a touch of warmth provided by the 9.5% alcohol. Bitterness comes in at 90+ IBU.

Flaske: Flot brun øl med et fint skumhoved. Desværre er duften ren kattepis. Gennemtrængende i en sådan grad at min kone knap kunne komme over den. Smagen er også til at begynde med kattepis dog ikke så gennemtrængende, og de andre humlenoter træder stille frem. Det kan dog ikke opveje for det faktum at kattepis ikke er så fantastisk at drikke.

Solid black pour with a frothy tan head. Aroma- pineapple, plum, roast malt, chocolate. Taste is a very resinous bitter but still has floral notes and a rich roast almost burnt malt flavor. Medium body, creamy texture. Very hoppy bitter finish, good stuff.

Bottled. Dark brown, rich but brief head. Powerful perfumy pink grapefruit aroma, Sweet, but slick and slimmer than anticipated from a 9.5% brew. Grapefruity hops dominate together with licorice. Very bitter finish. The sweetness and enormous hop content hide the alcohol well.

Deep ruby with a beige head. Bitter aroma of pine, herbs, and citrus. Also plenty of sweet malts and candy like aromas. Flavor is full of the bitter hops but has a distinct roasted malt flavor as well. Not like a Black IPA that is all the rage now, but a more relaxed roast and hop flavor making this a bit more drinkable. The pine and citrus hops come on first until they overtaken by the roasted malts. An interestingly complex flavor on this one. Full bodied. Might fine.

Bottle: Poured a deep dark amber color ale with a medium foamy head with good retention and good lacing. Aroma of citrus hops with a grassy feel and deep caramel malt also noticeable. Taste is also a mix between some grassy earthy hops with some deep caramel malt and a light toffee aftertaste. Body is a bit thin for the style with good carbonation and no signs of alcohol. Well done though maybe a tad too one-dimensional.

Bottle, 65cl - Clear amber red brown beer with a large beige head. Aroma is malty with notes of cascade, caramel and hay. Flavor is malty with woody notes of caramel, grapefruit and pine. Dry american strong ale, and very tasteful.
