Commercial Description:
This is a lacerative muther of a beer. The evil big brother of Arrogant Bastard Ale. It is strongly suggested you stay far, far away from this beer. Those foolish enough to venture close enough to taste will experience a punishingly unforgiving assault on the palate. ’Course there’s always the masochists...

Very strong hops flavor and bitterness with some malt. Pours a dark copper color with white head, and the aroma is very hoppy like that of a double ipa. This is a great beer if you like very hoppy and bitter brews.

Strong caramel aroma, hops a little skunk. Amber colour with a good frothy white head. Syrup like texture. Tangy bitter hop flavour. Sharp and cuts right to the palette. Grapefruit lingering around afterwards. Very tasty ale. Should have looked at the ABV. Wondered why I woke up with a wee hangover.

Now this is beer! Great looking and tasting beer. Deep flavors and a richness that is hard to find in a beer this strong.

2007, 22 oz bomber. Pours a clear, dark orange-brown colour with a cream coloured, frothy but quickly disappearing head. When I say quickly disappearing, I mean quick!! I turned my head for a minute and it was gone when I turned back around. Aroma of pine, malts, citrus, grapefruit, nuts, hops, caramel and alcohol. I started to smell the aroma before the cap was completely off. Flavour is the same as the aroma with a tangy sort of aftertaste.

Pours a lovely dark brown with a small tan head that lingers. Aromas of alcohol, raisin, caramel and malt. Strong anise flavors. Very bitter. Burnt toffee and caramel. Medium body. Soft carbonation. I think I prefer regular bastard better.

[2136-20090509] 1pt6floz bottle. Sweet malty syrup aroma has very heavy syrup hops. Clear, dark red amber body with a quick foamy light tan head. Super boozy heavy malty hops flavour. Medium-full body. Big beer, big booze.

Bottle 650ml. @ home.
Clear medium orange amber color with a large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white to beige head. Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, caramel, dark berry, moderate hoppy, orange. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and bitter with a long to average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft, finish feel is light to moderate alcoholic. [20090206]

Bottle. I believe this is much better than the "normal" bastard. Smoother and even has a higher alcohol content. What big beers should be.
