fata2683 (837), Panama City, Florida, USA Aug 20, 2008 When I read "you probably won’t like it" I knew I was in for something, but something this good, didn’t even cross my mind. What a HUGE ale. Get some! travita (1861), Frisco, Texas, USA Aug 19, 2008 Amber to red in colored with a nice tan head. Smell is strong in hops with some pine and fruit notes coming through. Taste has medium bitterness rounded out by some malts and a little fruit. NoiZe (1288), Mooi Zeist, Netherlands Aug 17, 2008 Tasted somewhere along my trip through the States.
Amber, brown colored brew. Sweet malty with some hops. Some hops and fruits and bitterness in the flavor. Good be more balanced. WinoInTraining (104), Longmont, Colorado, USA Aug 16, 2008 Killer standard. Deep mahogany color, clear. Rich malty, deep, nutty, hoppy, a bit of everything in there. always a favorite
jonno (542), Brisbane, Australia Aug 15, 2008 Updated: Jan 25, 2009I was expecting much more from this...The double bastard is amazing. A good ale, but I’ve certainly had better. I don’t think there’s much difference between this and the oaked version at least not to my simple taste. RERATE finally getting used to these aggressive american hops reated accordingly davidoc (113), Chicago, Illinois, USA Aug 15, 2008 Pours dark mahogany from the bottle with a slight head. Moderately hoppy with a hint of fruitiness. jjuf1853 (467), Land O Lakes, Florida, USA Aug 14, 2008 Bottle pours a very dark reddish amber color with a foamy beige head. Aroma has a sweet malt characteristic but plenty of hoppiness as well. Quite an explosion of flavors with an excellent bitter finish that lingers for a while. JCastner (102), New York, USA Aug 11, 2008 Pours a dark amber with a beige colored head. Aroma is first of cascades and sweet malt (brown sugar and maybe licorice). Taste is extremely bitter at the front and slowly trails off with a dry linger. I was disappointed with this one. It needed more malt presence and hop restraint. It’s a shame because the color is so nice. Not as good as the Stone IPA, which is one of my favorites.
