12 oz Bottle
Pours black with about an eighth of an inch of khaki colored head. Smells of pine and spicy rye, a little bit of citrus, but the citrus definitely takes the back seat to the pine and rye. On the taste, nice citrus and pine up front, a little bit of spice hits you in the back - very classic and enjoyable rye IPA finish (though it's not a rye IPA and I'm not sure if it's even brewed with rye). There's also some roasted malt and possibly molasses in there, which adds a nice sweet complexity to this beer. Moderate carbonation, alcohol is very well hidden for 8.7% ABV.
Not sure what to think about this one, in terms of actually pegging a style - there's sweet roasted malt, pine hop, some citrus, and a bit of spicy/smokey rye in there as well. It's a really complex beer, but remains pretty balanced for the most part. Stone definitely doesn't disappoint here, really nice flavor profiles and they all work well together.
Overall Rating: 4.35/5
