Stone Xocoveza Winter Spiced Mocha Stout

Stone Xocoveza: 3.5 – Oh god the amount of coffee and mocha there is obnoxious. A coffee flavored beverage can often be okay, but this bitter and dark-chocolate, and spiced monstrosity is for people who want to appear to drink beer. The problem being those people hate beer, and now we’re catering to them. The small number of points here is purely for a serious coffee lover would enjoy this enough to balance the score a little.

Price Average: Stone Xocoveza $16 for 6-pack

Stone Stochasticity Project: Your Father Smelt of Elderberries

Your Father Smelt of Elderberries: 4.0 – Figured I would give another try for Stone, and again I am disappointed. I’m sorry, because while I have never tried elderberries on their own – this is not what you taste. You get the medieval style ale alright, and then you recall why we got out of the dark ages. This isn’t bad – but when you buy a Monty Python beer you expect more.

Stone Brewing Company: Rick & Robbie’s Sprocket Bier

Rick & Robbie’s Sprocket Bier: 1.0 – Stone has betrayed me once again, this time however instead of being pretty par for the course, it’s actually downright fucken awful. See I saw Kolsch, and thought yes, then I saw black – and thought YES! Then I tasted it, and my god it tastes like sour farts. This is certainly the worst tasting beer I’ve had this year, and possibly in top 5 for all time.
