After starting to ship on the 10th, it finally hit the shelves here in Ohio Wednesday! And just in time for San Diego Comic-Con!

It's Stone's w00tstout!



It’s been four years since this otherworldly stout burst out of our collective proverbial chests. Four years since the primally viscous first release ooze-snaked across the galaxy. This specialty imperial stout draws its huge flavor from wheat (that’s Wil, natch), pecans and bourbon barrels (two homages to Drew’s home of Kentucky) and Greg’s lifelong quest for pushing the limits of “why the hell not?” to make bigger, bolder beers. The result is a mind-blowing amalgamation of intense yet smooth flavors, perfect for a warm summer evening, a cozy winter’s night or the approaching destruction of the entire human race (be it externally or internally inflicted).

For this year’s bottle art, we were thrilled to entrust the task to heralded comic book writer and artist Walt Simonson. He was gracious enough to work with us in exchange for our donation to The Hero Initiative, a charity organization that provides retirement funds for golden-age comic book artists.
Poured deep black into a Snifter with a moderate sized dark tan head. Allowed to warm a bit. Smells of boozy bourbon, oak, sweet cocoa, and a slight nuttiness. Flavors of bourbon, oak, cocoa, malt, pecan, and caramel. Reasonably sweet. The 13% ABV is very present. An appropriately heavy body. Yet again, w00tstout is awesome!
