Stone 070707 Vertical Epic Ale aged for a total of eight months in French and American Oak Red Wine Barrels. This barrel aging has added a whole new level of complexity and smoothness to the beer, and helps demonstrate the aging capability of the beer.

"Tasted on tap at Stone Bistro during the 08 RBSG. This Belgian Strong Ale pours a deep orange color from the tap. Small sized white foamy head. The aroma is fruity and sweet, touch of wine and oak. A medium bodied Belgian Strong Ale. The malts are fruity and sweet. The clove, ginger and citrusy flavors have diminished from the regular version and there are nice notes of red wine and oak. The hops are kind of earthy. Nice dry finish with some oak at the finish. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and dry. Aftertaste is slightly sweet with some tannins. "
