V15. Very good. Cherry and rose nose. Thick blackberry fruit. Dry, anise finish. Nicely balanced. — 6 years ago
Baltimore: Local beer. Oysters. And the harbor. Not a crack rock in sight. — 7 years ago
Baritone and lush, the 2014 Rock Wall Jack's Dry Creek Petite Sirah is a spicy melange of juicy black cherries, plums, cedar, and bay leaf. Inky and dark in the glass, this Sonoma County red is equally hedonistic on the palate, a riot of black fruit and ripe tannins pierced by a jaunty vein of acidity. 14.8% ABV | Sample — 8 years ago
Kind of a lite cinnamon flavor. Very refreshing. — 9 years ago
Lush, hint of sweetness in front, buttery at end — 9 years ago
I'll echo the consensus - a lovely, elegant expression of Napa terroir in a Syrah. Vanilla notes give way to spiciness - fruit is at a balanced concentration with silky tannins. Vegetal tobacco notes from stems. Wish I bought more. John is an absolute rock star. 2012 vintage — 9 years ago
Grapefruit, apple, lemon, dried apricot, blood orange and lime zest. Racy acidity and great minerality. — 5 years ago
All Green Everything from Other Half is a terrific hazy IPA. It was streets ahead of others when it first came out. Now it probably lacks a bit of the finesse of some of its peers but still has tons of depth a nuance. A reference point and always a pleasure. — 6 years ago
Love Kent Rosenblum’s zins. This one is fantastic especially in the middle of winter with a tri-tip and shrimp dinner. — 7 years ago

10th Anniversary IPA Re-release for the 20th Anniversary Encore Series, big big west coast hops, pine, citrus, peach, orange peel, sweet malt, 10% AVB, Triple IPA, not technically a style, especially back then, adds the new hops now common, Summit and chinook hops, Outstanding back then, and still very impressive, the closest beer to compare with this is Avery's Maharaja, which is still Outstanding as well — 9 years ago
Great everyday bottle. Flask recommendation. — 9 years ago
Fieldwork tundra triple ipa. Wow! Is this easy to drink. Perfectly balanced. Would love to try this next to the younger. Amazing hops, but what I love is the excellent malt. Highly, highly recommend. The expansion of this brewery made it loose rarity but they are still at the top of Bay Area imo. — 5 years ago
2016 RW. We both love. Smooth with good body and substance. — 6 years ago

So delicious and smooth. Again I probably opened it too early... — 9 years ago
Can you make Stone's Ruinten even better, yes! This California release only is the same Ruinten with added orange peel and vanilla Bean, gives it a smoother taste profile, adds a cask taste and sweetness, Outstanding!!! — 9 years ago
Havent been really into IPAs lately but this was spot on. Citrus, crisp, and some piney and dank hoppiness. — 9 years ago

Sparkles! Fruit! But also herbs and savory fruit pie were there such a thing. Enjoyed sporting pigtails because one must venture outside the box, time to time. — 5 years ago
