Brewer: Stone Brewing Company (California, USA)
Beer: 8th Anniversary Ale
Style: American Strong Ale
abv: 7.8%
Background: Bottle from the Vintage Cellar. Brewed in August 2004.
Appearance: Pours very dark brownish-red with a small dark head.
Aroma: Has the caramel and toffee of an Oktoberfest, the smokiness of a Scotch Ale, and the subtle hop qualities of an American Amber. Very bready, with some alcohol.
Flavor: Very sweet—the caramel and toffee take over in the flavor. There is some roasted malt flavor and hop bitterness, but it mostly tastes like a caramel candy. Slightly smoky finish.
Notes: Smooth and delicious.
Rating: 4.1 out of 5
