Year of New Beer: The Perfect Crime, Stone Brewing (CA)

Written By: Dion on 02/23/2013

 Brewed in conjunction with Evil Twin and Stillwater Artisanal Ales, this Black Smoked Saison is an interesting beer. Woodsy smoke and a slight sour note on the nose; the flavors lean heavily toward the roasted malts. This beer comes off much more like a smoked porter than a saison. Not horrible, just disappointing given the quality of the three breweries involved.
