I think the bottle said Imperial Red Amber Ale. It should have said Barleywine. It was sweet, malty and bitter just like an American Barleywine. Appartently, according to the Stone Rep, it has the most hops ever used by Stone at 4.5lbs per barrel. I think it all went into the bittering.
That all said, I had one 22oz beer and at 9.5% I got seriously messed up. Kinda threw me a curveball as I ate and stuff.
I don't see myself buying this again as it wasn't much my style. I am not comparing, but if you like DFH 60-120 series, then you might dig this beer.
PS...it said Triskaidekaphobia on the bottle. Say that five times fast. It means the phear of the number 13. The banter on the back of the bottle was a little too witty for me though and I gave up on it's tiny little print. It should have read Micrologophobia or the fear of small letters.
PPS...I don't know what he meant by the most hops ever used. I disagree, but hey, what do I know.
