Absolutely packed with hop flavor and aroma but with little enough alcohol that you can sip on it all night. Dark amber with good head retention. Notes of pine, citrus, toast, and a bit of grass. Restrained bitterness. Delicious. ucusty (1919), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jul 4, 2009 Dark amber pour with a fluffy amber head and sticky lace. Hoppy aroma. Resinous, citrusy, and thick malty backbone. Very nice and quite quaffable FSUHusker (5), Tallahassee, Florida, USA does not count | 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 4, 2009 Had this out of a bottle. Pours a dark brown with little foam that disipates quickly. I like it, not as hoppy a beer as I would like. Nice caramel flavor. I do reconmend it. Strykzone (1501), Wood River, Illinois, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 4, 2009 Another nice effort by Stone! Pour is caramel color with a tan head. A nose full of tart hops along with some caramel. Flavor is the same along with some wood notes. Hops rule here with grapefruit and pine. Caramel is in the background. It would not be a stretch to categorize this as an IPA. 00cobraR (1102), Greensboro, North Carolina, USA
