Jul 20, 2009 22 oz. bottle courtesy of TheBeerGod shared at Immy’s Backyard Throwdown. Pours reddish-orange with an impressive (for its age) head. Aroma of toffee, caramel, and grassy hops. Big, bold flavors that teeter between a Belgian ale and a DIPA. I don’t know what this tasted like fresh but 5 years later this is simply awesome. An outstanding beer.

Mar 4, 2006 This beer has a hearty roasted malt and caramel aroma that explodes from the bottle as soon as the cap is popped. This beer is mahogany in color and has a thick light copper colored head. This moderately thick beer offers a hoppy taste that fades to a nice healthy roasted malt taste. The roasted malt taste lingers well after the fluid has left the mouth.

Dec 23, 2004 Served in a bottle, this ale is reddish-brown, almost purplish color. Light head and slightly cloudy. Malty, although not too much with a nutty aftertaste. Not as bitter as I expected, and actually quite good.

Oct 19, 2004 Aroma has hints of choclate, and coffe, with a slight tinge of alcohol. Nice dark red amber color. Head is a peach orange color. This is a very tasty ale which taste like a comination between a porter and a imperial stout. Mean chocolate, coffee and some spicy hop tastes.

Feb 2, 2005 Croikey, this is intense. Different from the usual fare, but in a good way. Maltiness and hops not so well balanced in this, but it sure does have a unique taste. Can’t remember much else because I was drunk half way through finishing the bottle..

Aug 9, 2004 Poured a glowing reddish color with a large off white head and nice lacing. Rather muted aroma of vanilla, caramel, and light roasted chocolate. Taste was bursting with vanilla, chocolate malts, light citric hops, caramel malts, and warming bourbon alcohol feeling on the way down. The roasted qualities really stood out strong here. Very enjoyable. Not like anything else I've had recently.

Jul 28, 2005 22 oz bomber. Pours a dark amber brownish color with a thick creamy head. Smells of smoked wood chips, caramel, and hazelnut. Taste is very complex. A combination of hazelnut,malts,hops,some fruit, carbonation and it has that smoky flavor to it. This was the third time i’ve had this beer and aging does it very well. Another great brew from Stone.

Feb 11, 2006 From bottle. Pours a dark murky brown with minimal head. Nose is dark fruits and sweet breads, with yeast on top. Nose is similar to AB. Taste has more of the sweet yeasty bread up front, but with a dry coco and some of that toasty/roasty in the finish. None of the AB bitterness though, as this goes down smooth and tasty. Palate is just the right consistency, not thin but not too chewy either. A fantastic brew.
