Cool Springs Wines & Spirits' Featured Beer

Updated November 23, 2009

Stone Old Guardian brewed by Stone Brewing Company in Escondido, California - This barley wine pours a deep copper, amber color with a off-white creamy head. Aromas are immediately of sweet alcohol, hops, and a good bit of malted barley. It would really smell reminiscent of a malty double IPA if it weren't for all that barley. The rich body of the beer has more pleasant sweet flavors of honey, raspberries, and raisins offset with heaps of hops. Obviously, massive amounts of ingedients were used in the making of this brew. While this barley wine may not be a typical of the genre, its rich unrestrained flavors make it worth drinking down to the last drop. Stone doesn't ever to seem to miss the mark.
