This double IPA pours a lovely caramel copper amber colour with a big tightly beaded creamy head. It has a lot of sediment that doesn't really look like the usual yeast esters, apparently it is hop sediment. Nicely balanced beer with a fruity caramel mid palate finishing with a dry hop bitterness. A big 9.6% ABV.
It didn't turn my face inside out, the bitterness and flavour are very much in line with Stone's "Double Bastard Ale". If you are fond of big Imperial or Double IPA's then I thoroughly recommend this one!
SCORE 4.4
