A rich, malty, hop vehicle. The rep at the store called it a red ale but with more hops. It's a rich red, fine head, malty body loaded with hops. Heavy lacing all the way down. I like it. Not nearly as sessionable as an IPA, but a nice, heavier brew for a slower drinking, cold winter night.
Also, there's no good definition of a stock ale. BA redirects to old ales, and other stock ales get reclassified as American IPAs. Nosterfatu is classed as an American strong ale, also a super-ambiguous style. Someone said the brewer marks it as an imperial red. In any case, it's pretty good.
