Stone Sublimely Self Righteous Ale (8.7 ABV)

We’re brewers whose substantial mettle and idiomatic approach to brewing allows us to consistently create works of art such as this justifiably self righteous ale. Its bitterness hits our sweet spot. Its blackness lightens our hearts. Its liquid dichotomy pulls it all together in this sublimely sacrosanct ale. Yes, we damn well know our stuff here at Stone, and it would be irresponsible of us not to acknowledge how remarkable this heavenly creation of ours is. Thus the name we are compelled to give it … Stone Sublimely Self Righteous Ale … serves as a reminder of just how good we are, in both liquid and verbal form. We re certainly not perfect. Too often, we allow our modesty to get the best of us as we re simply not inclined towards senseless braggadocio. When youre good, youre good. And when you do something great, the least you can do is acknowledge it. Others benefit from knowing. In this case, we find that we are compelled to point out how amazing this beer is that we rightly call the Stone Sublimely Self Righteous Ale. First brewed in 2007 as Stone 11th Anniversary Ale, this beer was an instant hit. With us. Other folks with great taste loved it too, but we were focused on how much we liked it, and we felt it was truly sublime. That euphoria didnt last long though, as it was soon replaced with the grim reality that when we sold out of it there wouldnt be any more. For Us. And that was simply unacceptable. So, we are now blessing ourselves, and you the enlightened, with this beer on a full time basis.. Thusly, you may now revel in your own self righteousness as you see fit with this glorious example of ours. You are genuinely welcome, as it is our pleasure.

The price tag on the bottle I bought was 09/11, I purchased it in mid 01/12. The finish made me think it was going bad but the ABV should make it hold up well. I may have to do more "research".

I'm not a hop head and this was too bitter for me but I needed one more beer for my flight.

Grapefruit Stout. This at first was all hops, but after a few more gulps it felt like a good bitter stout. Great choice, even if it technically isn't a stout. Great recommendation from City Swiggers. Update: This ale has a grapefruit flavor and bitterness. Upon research, this category of beer is called an American Black Ale or IPA. From descriptions it appears that my favorite stouts were those that tended toward IPAs. Or as I read elsewehere: I prefer Malty IPAs or Hoppy Stouts. For now on I will be trying black IPAs to find the perfect beer. This ale rates with Dark Angel, etc. but is missing the chocolatey maltiness. The grapefruit however is a great alternative.

Hops in foreground, but reasonably balanced (especially for Stone).

For 8%, it had a light mouthfeel. Think Double or Imperial Black IPA. Citrus flavor. The dregs really stick to the glass.

More IDA research. This one is quite hefty compared to the others I've tried, but seems to be a standard bearer for the fledgling style.
