Jun 21, 2008 On Tap at Bier Tasting event at Boston’s Bistro & Pub in Dayton. This is just a more hard hitting version of the original bastard. Tastes like an epic battle between malt and hops, both struggling for control of your taste buds. What the hell just happened in my mouth?

Jun 21, 2008 A lot of malt and molasses in the aroma touched lightly with hops. Very smooth sweet malt with a small bitter finish going down. Some alcohol is apparent towards the end.

Jun 17, 2008 Huge light brown head, that lasts a long time. Aroma - heavy malt, dark bread, light hops, resin, and dough. Also allspice and pepper.Initial flavor is sweet and moderately acidic. Can really taste the alcohol. This was good, but not great. I have a few others that I’ll keep for a year or so to see what happens.

Jun 16, 2008 22 oz. bottle. 2007 vintage. Pours a dark, leather color. Small, thin white head. Aroma of dark fruits, molasses, citrus hops. Very thick mouthfeel. Flavor is a wonderful explosion of hop resin, raisins, caramel malt. Long bitter finish with strong warming alcohol notes. Outstanding beer, wish we could get it in Atlanta.

Jun 11, 2008 The beer pours an amber red with a thin quickly disappearing head. The nose is a thick mix of sweet malts (dark fruit and berries) with a dry hop. The flavor is big but simple. It is defiantly hoppy but with a good balance from the sweet malts. The finish is a sweet hop that last for days.
