I had the privilege of popping the cap on this little beast last night and let’s just say that I am planning my afternoon around finding as many of these as possible. The aroma, taste, mouth, everything about this beer is special. Simply a must try.

Anyone else tried this yet? Would love to hear other thoughts on it.

Cheers!

I see it everytime I head for more beer, but haven't picked it up yet. Not a huge hop head, so this one scares me.

I know. The first time I saw it, it mesmerized me for the better part of 10 minutes.

It is pretty damn hoppy but it seems to be offset well with bitterness. Your worries are warranted.
 
I'm a huge fan of Stone's brews, but I can't find it around here....I love it here, but OK is beer purgatory. And I'm a serious hophead to boot.

I only wish, but Stone doesn't distribute to Illinois! :angry:
And I'm a serious hophead too!
 
We had one of the 3L 10th Anniversaries over this past New Years Eve. Awesome beer. I have a couple bombers left. While it is very hoppy, it is very malty also, which helps balance the hops nicely. Might have to chill another one down soon.

BitterRat, when I head back to Indiana to see my folks, I stop at a liquor store in Highland, IN for the Stone products. PM me if you want the name of the place.
 
Speaking of hops, I am having their Ruination IPA as I type!

I just saw the 2007 release of their Vertical Epic and didn't pick it up. I hope I still can!

I have not had this one but thanks for the heads up!

What's this one like compared to the Barley Wine Jonas? I found that a bit too hot for my taste.

Compared to the Stone Old Guardian? When the 10th was fresh it was pretty hot in the hops category, but we sampled one a couple weeks back and it had settled down quite a bit and had a much more rounded sweet malt character to balance it out. If you see it give it a shot, I personally love it.
