Stone 6th Anniversary Porter was re-released as part of the 20th Anniversary Encore Series
An ode to density, viscosity, and the unbearable opaqueness of being...No single day can contain something as momentous as our 20th anniversary here at Stone Brewing. So we’re celebrating this milestone over the course of an entire year by releasing some fan-favorite beers from our 20-year history, using their original recipes and bottle art, and looking back on some highlights from the past on our way into a future filled with continued creativity, passion and a helluva lot of fun. Join us!
We celebrated our first five years in business by releasing anniversary India pale ales, with each subsequent IPA brewed to be hoppier and more intense than the previous. For our 6th anniversary in 2002, we extended this concept by making an intensified version of Stone Smoked Porter. We cranked up the malts and hops a notch or three and conditioned it on French and American oak, which accentuated our porter’s distinctive smokiness and amplified its chocolate and roast coffee flavors while also adding subtle notes of toffee, cherries, dried berries and vanilla. We’re proud to give those who missed out—as well as those who didn’t—a fresh shot at experiencing this smoky, dark-as-night wonder.

Tap at Stone in Asagaya (5th year anniversary event). Big milk chocolate forward nose with cacao nib, coffee and light smoke. Some light fruity sourness comes out as it warms. The smoke and chocolate work really well together. Creamy on the palate with some light oak notes. Finish is smooth and not overly bitter like a lot of Stone beers are. Great stuff.
