Double Bastard Ale

All the goodness of bastard...just more of it. Dark reddish pour, thin tan head...lots of citrus, malty sweetness, but nicley balanced by hop bitterness

22 oz Bottle -- Pours a rich cloudy amber with an off-white head. Very complex and balanced. Malts are strong providing caramel, dried fruits, and some roasted flavors on the back end. Hops are there for sure bringing some citrus and pine. A little salty and the alcohol is very present on the palate. Flavors last long for a long finish. It’s arrogant bastard turned up a notch with some more sweetness.

Pours a dark reddish brown with a thin tan head. Served in the stone double bastard glass which was a nice touch. Aroma is citurs and pine hops with sweet malt. Alot going on here...hoppy with heavy malt, wood. Warming alcohol finish and more hops. A big beer to be savoured and enjoyed.

Overwhelming. I felt like I was getting punched in the throat. It was beautiful! Makes it’s little arrogant brother look like a pansy. Ouch

Bottle, 12 fl. oz. Pours a clear brown beer with an offwhite head. The aroma is malt, sweetness and notes of berries. The flavor is hops, roasted and berries. The palate is bitter. Overall a great beer.

2009 bomber. This one pours a dark reddish brown color topped by a large, foamy light tan colored head that slowly settles to a thin film. The aroma is very hop forward with grapefruit, citrus, and pine hop bitterness to go with a big dose of sweet caramel malt. The flavor follows suit with huge amounts of grapefruit and piney hops balanced out by the big and sweet caramel and toffee malt backbone. The bitterness is quite striking from all the hops. It is certainly one monster of a beer. Full bodied, thick, and a touch syrupy as it warms with ample carbonation and a lengthy bitter finish. There is touch of alcohol heat on the finish as well. This one packs quite a punch with all the flavor and hops. Good beer.

Bottle from Kenny Road Market in Columbus, OH. Dark amber color with a fluffy tan head. Wonderful aroma of hops, citrus, and more hops. Great caramelly, malty, fruity flavor with a thick mouthfeel. This beer is big and beautiful.
