Bottle: Poured an amber color ale with a medium size foamy head with light retention. Aroma of caramel malt with some dry fruits and toffee notes with quite a bit of rye whiskey notes. Taste is a complex and satisfying mix of rye whiskey notes with some toffee and caramel malt, some light dry fruits and a quite a bit of woody notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Very solid offering from Stone.
