2017 Fyodor

Beer Details

  • Style: Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout
  • ABV: 13.5%
  • Release Year: 2017
  • Release Type: Limited Draft & Bottles
  • Brewing Location: Escondido

This profoundly complexed beer will overwhelm all but the most stalwart beer fanatics with its level of intensity. Rich coffee, bitter and milk chocolate characteristics abound, while dark charred oak, rich vanilla and caramel from the bourbon barrels synergistically elevate and further enhance the ultra-intense taste of the original beer. The name we chose for this heady creation, “Fyodor”, is a tip of the hat to Fyodor Dostoyevsky, one of the greatest, most influential novelists of Russia’s Golden Age.

Beer Details

  • ABV: 12.9%
  • Release Year: 2021
  • Release Type: Limited Draft Only

We took an amazing Barley Wine that had the essence of Stone Old Guardian Barley Wine and decided to age it over bourbon barrel chips.  The results were rich notes of caramel, oak, pineapple, pine with hints of vanilla and a slightly sweet and delectable finish.

  • Style: Barrel-Aged Sour IPA
  • ABV: 9.6%
  • Release Year: 2017

Tart cherry upfront before some underlying citrus bitterness kicks in. Rose-like floral undertone hits mid-taste. Finish continues with the cherry tartness and a fair amount of pithy citrus bitterness.

Stygian Descent (Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Black IPA Aged in Whiskey Barrels)

Beer Details

  • Style: Whiskey Barrel-Aged Black IPA
  • ABV: 11.6%
  • Release Year: 2024
  • Release Type: Limited Draft Only
  • Brewing Location: Escondido

We took Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Black IPA and aged it in whiskey barrels that had previously held Stone Imperial Stout Whiskey. The result was heavy caramel, coffee, and vanilla with a hint of tropical & orangey hop aroma.  The whiskey barrel taste comes through and melds seamlessly with the beer.
