Stone Brewing

Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale is a bold and complex Double IPA that defies traditional color boundaries, presenting a dark delicacy of roasted depth and aggressive hopping. The sensory journey begins with intense aromatics of pine resin and citrus, layered over deeper notes of coffee, black currant, and dark chocolate. On the palate, a firm, solid bitterness carries vibrant flavors of orange, raspberry, and tropical fruit, which are seamlessly integrated with smooth milk chocolate and roasted coffee undertones. This medium-bodied ale maintains a remarkable drying character on the finish, ensuring the high alcohol remains supportive rather than overwhelming, resulting in a truly sublime balance.

Aroma. High intensity; pungent piney and resinous hop character is prominent, accompanied by citrus and tropical fruit notes, backed by subtle coffee, black currant, and rich chocolate malt aromas.

Taste. Initial impression is of assertive bitterness; complex hop flavors of orange peel and resinous pine transition into hints of raspberry and tropical fruit. The malt provides a sturdy backbone of dark and milk chocolate with toasted coffee notes, leading to a clean, dry finish with a lingering hoppy aftertaste.
