Double Bastard Ale

Brewed by Stone Brewing Co.
Style: American Strong Ale
Escondido, California USA

Powerful, intense, malty. Pours really nice into a deep amber color with a nice head. Taste is intense of well balanced malts, and alcohol.

Thanks to Ramenen. Bottle: Complex and big, sweet malty notes with fruit, hops and caramel touches. The body is heavy, oily and thick. Lives up to expectations.

Thanks to Geoff from Firehouse for hooking me up with these bottles in LV. Pours a nice robust caramel red, and the lacing head is chino, spidery and fine. An excellent nose, with a spicy hop bouquet and a firm malt twist. It’s a very creamy beer in the mouth, almost feels like a steam beer in that respect. Excellent hop translucence mixes with the malt bop and finishes with a clean, refreshing albeit exceedingly alcoholic zing. Not for the novice beer drinker!!

Orange translucent color. minimal head. Malty nose with hint of spiciness.Initial flavor is malty with high alcohol notes and somewhat yeasty followed by Intense and complex hopiness that lasts for a while

Pours cloudy carmel with a redish head, flavor is a lot of malt and a lot of hops, slightly bitter finish, really tasty beer

Pours hazy, caramel red. Head is reddish. Tons of malt up front, hops even a little earthiness in this one. Creamy, good body. Great beer.

Bottle. Clear red-brown with a creamy bubbly beige rather short lasting head leaving a good creamy lacing. Aroma of roasty malt, chocolate, caramel. Great mouthfeel. Sweet nice malty alco bombing hoppy flavour.

Dark red-brown color. Creamy head. Fruit and malt aroma. Strong apricot candy flavor. A bitter finish but not overpowering. Hint of smoke. Lots of hops. Massive beer.
