Stone Sublimely Self-righteous Ale

Stone Brewing, Escondido CA
22oz bottle, 8.7%abv

This is an interesting one. Looks like a porter, smells like an IPA, and tastes yummeh.

Aroma is dominated by hops, with some nice hints of roast malt coming through.

Flavor is bright, crisp and surprisingly light for the strength, with solid roastiness for balance.

Finish is clean and also crisp with a lingering bitterness.

Overall a great unique offering from Stone. It's a bit more subtle and approachable than some of their stuff. Highly recommended.
