Stone 09.09.09 Vertical Epic Ale

Beginning with the first release in 02.02.02, our Stone Vertical Epic Ale series is an eleven-year endeavor with each new edition released one year, one month, and one day after the previous years, culminating in a truly Epic Vertical tasting on 12.12.12. The eighth installment in our Belgian-inspired Vertical Epic Ale series, Stone 09.09.09 Vertical Epic Ale, is a Belgian porter brewed with dark candi sugar, chocolate malt, tangerine peel, vanilla beans, and aged on French oak. The last few Stone Vertical Epic Ales have been golden in color, but this year?s ale is a dark Belgian Porter, and instead of using American hops like we did last year, we?re using two German hop varieties: Perle and Magnum.
