This draft-only offering was Stone 2010 IRS with Belgian yeast. It is NOT the same beer as the Stone Belgo Anise IRS released in 2011, as this version did not contain oak chips or anise.

Had on tap at the Stone Total Tap Takeover in Baltimore
A-jet black color with a dark tan colored head.
S-fruity belgian yeast with notes of lemon pepper, hints of windex with sprinkles of chocolate.
T-more lemon pepper spicy yeast in the flavor than the nose, roasted malts make an appearance with some dark fruity sweetness and a light note of stale coffee and bitterness.
M-this has a medium body with a creamy feel, a little messy towards the back with a moderate carbonation and a crisp semi-dry finish.
D-balanced and different with a fruity sweetness and nice spice to it. interesting beer and very different, not mind blowing and a lighter body that I would like but good.

11/14/12 On tap. I'm usually skeptical of Stone's stuff, they seem to be hop happy. As a big Imperial stout kind of guy, but this really hit the spot. Wonderfully smooth. Not too sweet. Perfect body. I think I'm in love. Makes me wonder if they got this so right, why we disagree on so much of the rest?
