Stone Barrel Aged Series Goes Southern
The 2013 rare as $hit Stone Brewing Co. Quingenti Milliltiere Series rolls on with a southern inspired offering. The brewery has taken Double Bastard, a strong ale not for the timid palate, and aged it a blend of Kentucky bourbon barrels and virgin bourbon barrels. Some of the barrels aged the “Suitable for Cave Aging” tribute to beer great Danny Williams.
Style: American Strong Ale (Barrel Aged)
Availability: 500ml bottles, corked & caged
Arrival: TBA
Flavor Notes from Stone: Intense smoke and vanilla flavors From the virgin bourbon barrels’ charred American oak, nuances of butterscotch and caramel front the Kentucky bourbon ‘barrels, and fudgy chocolate notes produced by Kentucky bourbon barrels that once held Stone Suitable for Cave Aging Imperial Smoked Porter Tribute to Danny Williams all meld into a very complex, well structured beer with intense flavor.

Stone Finds An Infection Issue In Rare Beer
Even well established breweries have some infection issues sometimes. Stone Brewing Co discovered yesterday that bottles of their 2010 Russian Imperial Russian Stout aged in bourbon barrels has some infection issues. The stout has spent two years resting in bourbon barrels before making it’s way into the world. Randy Clemens, Media & Communications for Stone mentioned this on Beer Advocate:
Yeah, this is a major bummer to hear. We’re looking into the half-fills and the reports of infected bottles as we speak, and we’ll have much better information (as well as a solution to make it right!) after our meeting tomorrow. If you can’t wait that long, you’re welcome to bring your bottle(s) back–filled, empty, or anywhere in between–for a full refund, no questions asked. More details to come; thanks all for your patience, understanding, loyalty, and hopefully forgiveness.
This special edition is part of Stone’s Quingenti Millilitre series. I guess there are some sad beer geeks out there right now.

Stone Puts Chocolate Cherry In Rye Whiskey
Jason Fields and Kevin Sheppard’s previous homebrew contest winning Cherry Chocolate Stout will find it’s way into rye whiskey barrels soon. The beer was brewed last year as a three-way collaboration between the home brews, Stone Brewing Co, and Troegs Brewing. Cherry Chocolate Stout is brewed with 250 lbs of cocoa, vanilla beans, and sour cherries.
This was a ton of fun to brew So far, the most memorable part about it was sampling the first wort which had been mashed with lots of specialty grains and about 250 lbs of pure cocoa. It was amazingly smooth, velvety sweet, and rich with chocolate. I felt like I was tasting the luscious sweetness of a chocolate river. It was a natural match to age this brew in rye whiskey barrels. – Mitch Steele (Head Brewer, Stone Brewing Co.)
While the bottles don’t have the Quingenti Millilitre series explicitly on the label anymore, this edition joins a series of very small batch, barrel aged brews.
Style: Imperial Stout (w/ Vanilla Beans, Chocolate, Cherries, Barrel Aged)
Availability: 5oo ml bottles
Arrival: TBA

Stone’s Quingenti Punishment: Double Bastard, Chilies, & Whiskey
Stone Brewing Co is adding Punishment to the Quingenti Millitre lineup. Punishment is barrel aged Double Bastard Ale, mixed with chilies, and aged in whiskey. There is a counterpart (Crime), another chili laden, barrel aged strong ale counterpart. Greg Koch tells the story on the label…
Greg here with a short word. Question actually. Maybe even a riddle.
As in, Q: “What do you call it when Greg takes his harvest bounty of chili pepper varieties from his own personal garden and/or Stone Farms, and adds them to… and thus ruins
… and otherwise beautiful barrel aged blend of Arrogant Bastard Ale, OAKED Arrogant Bastard Ale, and Double Bastard Ale (AKA Lucky Basartd Ale)?
A: “A Crime!”
Q: ” What do you call it when you take a sip of Barrel Aged Double Bastard Ale that’s had an equal share of the bounty of chili peppers unceremoniously added in, resulting in a punishingly intense level of hot pepper heat to an already overly intense beer?”
A: “Punishment.”
And there you ahve it. As with many riddles boys and girls, this one carries a cautionary tale. Yes, I could have written it out Brothers Grimm style, but we don’t have time fo fairy tales. You got two riddles and a warning, and that’s all. Unless you’ve actually managed to procure one of these ultra rarities in which case you’ll get Crime and Punishment. Not to mention regret. Hmmm… I like it. “Regret.” No THERE’S a great name for a beer.
Note: This beer is fro fans of capsicum heat only. If you don’t qualify, then stay far afar away (or as some prefer, whimper and whine through tear stained eyes). You should realize in advance that no one cares to hear said whimpering and whining about your foolish decision. It’s better to remain silent and be thought a whimp, than to whine and complain and remove all doubt.
Style: American Strong Ale (Barrel Aged, w/ Peppers)
Availability: 500 ml bottles. Limited Release
Arrival: TBA
