Cool beer. On draft at the Holiday Ale Festival. Pours a black color with a medium beige head. A big spicy and milky lactose nose. The flavor is well made: bitter hops mix with aggressive spicing, some toast, sweet vanilla and cocoa. Very nice brew. A bit complex, but the core chai and lactose flavor is solid.

On tap at Stone Liberty Station, pours a hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma of smoked malt, some chilli peppers, and rye-like hops. Flavour brings out medium strength smoke above anything, drowning out any IPA-like character. Pretty smoky - not that elegant, but fairly enjoyable. Decent.

Growler from Stone World Bistro & Gardens in Escondido. This beer pours a clear dark amber color with a medium foamy light beige head that diminishes gradually to a film. Patchy lacing on the glass. Aroma of dark fruit, malt and caramel. Medium to full body with flavors of earthy malt, caramel and dark fruits. The finish is malty with a peaty aftertaste. Decent overall.

4.9% tap pour at Stone Liberty Station into a tall tulip glass where it exhibits a dark body that has thin mahogany edges and supports a tan head of foam that leaves behind sheet lacing. The aroma is nice and roasty with dark roasted malts mixing with pine hops and a thin citrus hop note. The taste is similar with dark roasted malts, pine hops and a touch of citrus hops that adds a pleasing depth to the sessionable brew. It comes across fresh and snappy and the hops create a dangerously sessionableness out of the experience. Loved it.
