I survived another Christmas! - part 2

Here are some more beers that we tried during our wait for Christmas:

Stone 13th Anniverary Ale (Bottle) 9,5%
It poured a very dark amber liquid with a small light brown foam that left some lacing.

It had a smell of wood, caramell, malt, hops, something sweet and an alcoholic finnish.

It had a medium smooth mouthfeel with a bit of sting to it. It had a medium body and a high bitterness. It had a sweet taste and a flavour of hops, wood, nuts and an alcoholic finnish. Quite strong and full taste, also a bit dry. Really nice, I sure enjoyed this beer.
Total: 4,1/5

Stone 09.09.09 Vertical Epic Ale (Bottle) 8,9%
It poured a very dark amber liquid with a small light brown foam that left some lacing.

It had a smell of nut, wood, chocolate and crackers.

It had a medium smooth mouthfeel with some stingyness. It was a bit sour but not so bad, heard there have been some complaints about the sourness but it didn't bother me much. It had a thick body and was a bit dry. Taste of wood, nuts and warm alcohol. Lots of different flavours that I couldn't quite distinguish made it feel complex and interesting.
Total: 3,9/5

After these beers my father pulled out two kegs of home made beer. I'll tell you all about it tomorrow...
