Is that not a glorious sight? The Stone Winter Storm was fantastic, and the pours were not modest at all. Had 10 amazing beers:
Stone/Green Flash/Pizza Port Highway 78 Scotch Ale
2008 Bourbon Barrel Aged Russian Imperial Stout
Crime
Punishment
07.07.07 aged in Red Wine Barrels
08.08.08
06.06.06
Stone/Dogfish Head/Victory Saison du BUFF (Stone version)
2011 Belgo Old Guardian on cask
Pale Ale
I was primarily interested in the first five. The only one I did not like was Punishment. Crime was really good. Crime was oak barrel aged double dry hopped Lukcy Basartd with chili peppers. Punishment was oak barrel aged Double Arrogant Bastard with chili peppers. Punishment was pretty intense. I didn't finish it. The 2008 Russian Imperial Stout was fantastic. It was fairly similar to Goose Island Bourbon County Stout...had the boozy-ness in place of chocolatey chewyness.
The vertical epics were all great. It was my first time trying 06.06.06, and I quite liked it. The breakfast buffet was great: Challah French Toast, Bagels and Breakfast Burritos (read: starchy foods). And the weather was just perfect
also brewed our first batch of beer the day before. it was fun and interesting. hopefully it turns out well. we'll see once we bottle it.
