Stone Matt’s Burning Rosids Imperial Cherrywood Smoked Saison
Tasting notes from Mitch Steele
Appearance:
Pours deep golden with a light haze that clears as the beer warms.
Aroma:
Belgian yeast clove-like aromatics and banana, followed by hints of smokiness.
Taste:
Fruit and spiciness from the Belgian yeast, followed by a more pronounced smoky woodiness. The finish is malty, with a touch of alcohol. There’s a really nice blend of flavors of here.
Palate:
Full bodied, but very dry with a lingering hop bitterness
Overall:
It means a lot to us to have brewed this particular beer in memory of Matt Courtright. Matt was a very creative and talented brewer, and we knew that brewing this amazing recipe would be a wonderful way to pay tribute to everything Matt brought to us. I love how all the flavors play together very well, and this beer should be suitable for aging at cellar temperatures for several years.
