Stone Vertical Epic 02.02.2020 22oz

No
lemons, no melon. Though there is a good amount of orange peel and
tangerine in this one, but we’ll get to that in a moment. First we will
refer you back to February 2, 2002 (otherwise known as 02.02.02) when we
released the first of our now deified decade-spanning Stone Vertical
Epic Ale series. The next was released on 03.03.03, then 04.04.04 all
the way up until 12.12.12. As we realized that the 18th anniversary of
that first release is the magnificently palindromic date of 02.02.2020,
we knew a suitably epic tribute as a reviver was necessary. Call it our
civic duty. We had to step it up a level. Miss it? No sir, no madam.
This, like the groundbreaking original series, is a half
Belgian-inspired, half Stone-inspired ale. Too hot to hoot? Not in our
minds. This calendar occurrence doesn’t come around often...not for
another one thousand and ten years, one month and one day (wow)...so you
should be celebrating it. With a beer. Like we are. Regard a mere mad
rager? Count on it.



As with any good epic, herein lies the promise of larger-than-life experiences, heroics, and twists and turns as the adventure unfolds. This bottle-conditioned ale is chapter eleven. Now is the time to enjoy it in a “vertical” tasting side by side with its ten Stone Vertical Epic Ale brethren! Each one unique to its year of release. Each with its own “twist & turn” in the plot line. Each one released one year, one month and one day from the previous year’s edition. This year’s Stone Vertical Epic Ale is the very last one. Yep, this is it. The final chapter. Or as they say on the last slide in some old films: “Fin.” No worries though: this edition is particularly well-suited for prolonging the experience, as it’s as cellarable as any in the series, or more. In this, the final edition, you can expect a perfectly balance *womp* of spices: cinnamon, ginger, allspice, sweet orange peel, clove (only a little!) and rosehips, all in the context of a dark Belgian style abbey-ish beer…but not as sweet. Dry even. Stone style. Thanks for coming on this Epic Stone-style journey with us! You can rest assured there will be new adventures to come…
