Fan Favorite Stone Imperial Stout Returns for the Winter

 Stone Brewing is closing out its year of special release beers with the legendary fan favorite, Stone Imperial Stout.

Stone Imperial Stout dates back 24 years to the early days of the brewery. It stirred rapt fans into a frenzy over its complex and indulgent flavor profile. It pours black as sin. A goblet held to the sky could block out the sun. Or an evening. At 10.5% and irresistible to the last sip, it is full bodied with a fluffy hot-chocolate-colored head. Flavors of dark chocolate and heavy roast are gracefully supported by nuances of coffee, black currant, juniper berry, and molasses on the finish.  

“I’ve been brewing at Stone for more than 20 years and Stone Imperial Stout is, hands-down, one of our greatest beers,” expressed Jeremy Moynier, Sr. Manager of Brewing & Innovation. “It’s such a perfect balance of flavors. I love it super fresh but it also ages really well too.” 

This masterful beer is here for a limited time only. Stone Imperial Stout is available nationwide in 12oz six-pack cans and draft. Find the beer at Find.StoneBrewing.com or purchase it online in select states at Shop.StoneBrewing.com.
