Stone Lukcy Basartd
American Strong Ale - 8.5% ABV Josh So this beer was brewed in celebration of the 13th anniversary of Stone's Arrogant Bastard Ale. It's a bit more robust than the Arrogant Bastard and it definitely packs a punch at 8.5% ABV. The scent is glorious but fairly deceptive. Hops play a prominent role in this American Strong Ale but they're seemingly absent in the odor. If you happen to find yourself a bottle consider yourself a Lucky Bastard (yes, yes I did).

Stone Mocha IPA
Imperial IPA - 9% ABV Pete This is an incredible IPA. Stone really nailed this one. They didn't make a 'black IPA', but they still got some of the flavors you'd expect from a much darker brew into this imperial beauty. Hints of chocolate and coffee are nice in the background to a typical outstanding IPA from Stone. Ratings: Pete - 7 Shyoh's |

Stone Pale Ale
Pale Ale - 5.4% ABV Pete This is a lightly carbonated, very hoppy pale ale. The hops overpower everything in this one, not a lot of flavor otherwise. There is nothing obviously bad about it, but definitely nothing to make me buy it again. Rating: 3 Shyoh's |

Stone Pataskala Red IPA
Red IPA - 7.3% ABV Pete This is a nice balance of sweet malty red and bitter hoppy IPA. I don't love reds on their own, but mixed with an IPA seems to work more often than not. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |

Stone Points Unknown
IPA - 9.5% ABV Pete This is a pretty solid, above average IPA. That said, I just can't justify paying the premium price for it. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |

Stone Ripper
Pale Ale - 5.7% ABV Pete This tasted a bit too malty/sweet for a pale ale for my tastes. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |

Stone RuinTen
Imperial IPA - 10.8% ABV Pete This is an overwhelmingly bitter IPA. It hides the booze well, but it's just too bitter for me to really taste anything else and enjoy it. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |

Stone Saison
Saison - 6% ABV Pete This is a solid beer. It smells great, tastes good, but the aftertaste is a little off. I would drink this again, but I was hoping for more. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |

Stone Stone Farking Wheaton w00tstout
Imperial Stout - 13% ABV Pete This is extremely rich and nutty, but it is really Farking hard to hide 13% alcohol. Super boozy finish. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |

Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale
Black IPA - 8.7% ABV Pete Drinking this beer is a major task. It has some nice malty and hoppy flavors, but you really get completely overpowered by the amount of alcohol in the beer. It is hard to drink. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |

Stone Xocoveza For The Holidays & The New Year
Milk Stout - 8.1% ABV Pete This is a pretty great stout. It tastes...Christmas-y. The spices in there just remind me of the holidays, so I guess they marketed this well. It also has a hint of spice (hot), which is an added bonus on this one. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Stone Your Father Smelt of Elderberries - Stochasticity Project
Ancient Ale - 10.3% ABV Pete This is a hard beer to get a grip on. There is a lot going on, almost like a good red wine, and it has the alcohol to match. I like red wine, so I like this. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
