As they have in the past, Stone dumps the mother load of hops in their Anniversary beer. Even last year's bitter chocolate oatmeal stout had a monster kick, but it was at least enjoyable. When I started drinking this beer, I absolutely loved it. But as I got into my second pour (the 2nd half of the bottle) it became apparent to me that my lupulin threshold was being approached and I had a hard time finishing it off. It kept me from truly enjoying an otherwise excellent beer. Oddly enough, the bottle says not to cellar. I think I'll keep the other 2 I have in my cellar for a while and hope that time helps this thing mellow out a little. I agree 100% with you here.
