500ML Bottle, Thanks WillRun
A - Black as night but with a slight amber color right at the edge. 1 finger head that faded quickly. seems light on the carb
S - Smells great. it’s night and day different from the bourbon version. Aroma is a bit sweeter, lighter on the booze, cocoa and coffee bean.
T - mmm this is nice. you certainly get a lot of rum here. it almost coats the tongue and lingers for a very long time. cocoa is pretty intense and booze is up to 11. you taste every percent of the 10% ale. lingering sugar cane. up front, espresso bean but fleets fast
M - Thin, oily, not a lot of cab here
O - Very good. I think I prefer the bourbon version slightly.

500ML shared by AFH at fridge temp- a nice yellowish golden color with a bit of haze. This smells really great. Juicy, bright, really orange-citrus forward. Really exceptional aroma. The piney-resin-bitterness is at 11. yet the malt bill is very weak. If you want a lot of tropical / piney hop taste, this might be pretty damn good but honestly, it has this intensity that is beyond a session ale. The mouthfeel though, well done. good job, guys!

Pours clear pale gold into a tulip. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Caramel, yeast and tropical fruit aromas. Soft with yeast and grapefruit front to back turning to dry pith in the lasting finish.

Draft at New England’s Tap house and Grill. Standard shaker glass shows a dee in color mahogany. Aroma is Munch malt, weak chocolate aroma with hints of dark bread.
Deep malty grainy base. Caramel, hints of chocolate with grainy texture giving a deep earthy character. The moderate sweet and bitter flavor gives this brew a great balance. Had I not known this was brewed in NH, I would have said this brewed in Germany. Awesome grain bill. The brewer does a wonderful job with this style.

Fresh bottle, refrigerated, from Charles St Liquors, drunk 12/20/15.
Glad to see this on the shelf; really love this brewery.
Large, foamy, white head shows medium retention. High clarity in this pale golden body.
Dusty mosaic, with unripened nectarines and very light apricots. Some mild grapefruit joins the foray, but does not dominate, while a touch of vanilla and biscuits gives good dryness. Clean, clear, fresh yeast and light lemon lingering.
Very easygoing, sessionable beer shows lemon, vanilla, sugar cookie and a touch of light tangerine. Incredibly clean. It’s amazing how immaculately well-brewed Stoneface’s beers are. Grainy texture with good maltiness though very, very well-attenuated. Goes down too easily, with no resin, obnoxious bitterness or anything like that. Pretty much nails exactly what it’s supposed to. Awesome.

Thanks to Willrunforbeer on this share, the only Stoneface a New England rater has offered me BEFORE I have sampled it, Ha ha ... I’m also thankful that the brewery decided to add bottling dates on the edge of the label. Color is a slight hazy yellow with almost no head. Aroma is light, mellow hints of Mosiac hops, grass clippings, scallions and traces of pale honey malts.
The flavor is exactly as the aroma leads me to believe. Pale grain backbone with the body not ever becoming thin like many session IPA’s can be. Notes of pine with the grass.mThe body is light but NOT thin. Bitterness is lingering and ends crisp. Lots of lingering grass for the bittering. Another well made brew from Stoneface

500ML split 2 ways. Totally pitch black, 1 finger espresso head with big and small bubbles. Smells fantastic. good bitterness, half & half, coffee beans, fudge. Decadent and creamy mouthfeel. Thin taste and the finish does thin out considerably. A good amount of fudge (whoutht the sweetness) and coffee. Very dry and very toasty.
