Jun 6, 2008 Bottle. Pours pitch black, big creamy tan head, and a lot of lacing. A perfect pour from yours truly. Lots of roasted notes in the nose, some slight spices, coffee. Roasted malts hit the tongue first. Caramel and some fresh fruits follow. Has a basic malt finish. Med-bodied, velvety feel on the tongue, and easy to pound down. Enjoyed it.

Jun 4, 2008 Have had this quite a few times now. Not my favorite style, but they do it well. dark black color on the pour with a nice tan head. Overall, it’s pretty straightforward. Nice chocolate and smokiness, but enough bitterness to keep it balanced. Very drinkable and well done. Worth a shot.

Jun 2, 2008 As Stone is as of yet unavailable in my state (NC), I must continue to seek it out when visiting friends abroad (VA). As this particular offering I found to be averagish-good, I’m not sorely lamenting its absence at my LBS...yet it was still worth trying to be sure.
Appearance: Coca-cola, pure and simple
Aroma: Weak smoke permeates all else.
Taste: Smoky porter! An American take on an English style mixed with Rauchbier.
Overall, it’s a one-trick pony, not especially smoky (but then again I love Rauchbier). I kinda dig it -- one caveat, though, if you’re not into the smoky beer thing, don’t bother with this one!
Serving type: bottle

May 29, 2008 Bottle, 22 oz. Pours black with a tan head. Smoky and roasty malt aroma with sweet dark fruit notes. The palate is met with sweet malt, then hops for a slightly bitter finish. I would have enjoyed some more smokiness, but it’s still good.
