Stone Brewing Co – The Alchemist/Ninkasi/Stone More Brown than Black IPA – 12 oz. bottle poured into a goblet. 7.4% abv.
Appearance: Pours a dark rootbeer brown with a very thin layer of froth and bubbles. Light doesn’t get through the body. Leaves insane lacing.
Brewing something people should know about?
Since 2007, The Full Pint has been where craft beer fans get their news. Breweries and beer brands can reach them too.
Aroma: Right out of the foil pack hop pellets,I’d say Amarillo or similar variety of danky hop (Editors note– Went back and saw that there is no Amarillo) . That’s it.
Taste: Citrusy floral danky green hop,sturdy pine bitterness, toasted malt. Finishes with clean bitterness.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied, somewhat juicy with average carbonation.
Overall: Tasty and very fresh . There wasn’t much “brown” malt presence, if you closed your eyes, you were just drinking a really green IPA.
