Jan 31, 2005 Pours a nice mahogony with a thin, light tan head. Nose is hoppy with a little malt. Strong in taste, with hops, prune, wood, roasted malt and a coffee finish. Somewhat oily mouthfeel. Quite good overall.

Jan 29, 2005 Chocolate and malt nose, clear ruby, tiny toffee head, pretty lace. Typical west coast hop taste, some chocolate notes and a malt backbone. Medium/full bodied, bitter. A bold offering.
I’m not sure which of my guests of Dec.11/04 gathering gifted me with this, but Thank You very much!

Jan 28, 2005 Looks quite like a mild, with a rudy color and a moderate light tan head. Toasted dry grain aromas with just a hint of floral hops and coffee. A good smellin brew, plain and simple. A bold brown flavor. Start is quite sweet with a mild chocolate taste. It dries out in the middle with toasted nuts and and a hint of fruit. Finish is quite bitter with a sharp bite. This one loses it in the finish. Perhaps some time will help settle the bitterness. Late finish of cask wood and roasted malts. I like the concept, but just a touch too much. But than again, shouldn’t I expect this from Stone’s. Congrats on 8 years and keep putting out the great brews. Thanks Vac for getting this one to me.

Jan 22, 2005 Pours a dark brown you cannot see light through, with a foamy tan colored head. Aroma is malt and coffee and slightly nutty. Flavor is sweet with some chocolate and graham cracker. I also taste the vanilla/bourbon hints from the description. Slightly nutty medium bitter finish. Tasted better as it warmed up a bit. I like it although sometimes it might seem a bit too sweet.

Jan 19, 2005 Dark golddn/amber colour with a roasted nut aroma. Some notes of chocolate in the flavour and lots of toasted nuts, quite woody. A solid, good beer, but not great.
