Excitrd to try this as a longtime huge fan of the beer on which it’s based. Tall can from Craft Logic at home. Translucent dark dark brown pour with fine soft creamy off white head. Aroma is white grape, dank resin, sweet, wet earth. Interesting for black IPA. Taste is bitter but in a wet dank earthy way, surprisingly subdued. Tingly alcohol warmth on the finish. Palate is smooth. Not bad at all, and worth a try, but not up to the high standard set by the Stone original.
