Apr 1, 2009 With incredible thanks to HogTownHarry. Appearance: Dark orange/red with a tiny yellowish head. Aroma: Malt, pineapple, cherry, oak, candy floss, fruity with hops. Flavour: Malty - chewy, dark fruit, pine - oak, wood, a little chocolate, bitter, slight alcohol burn but not much, somewhat creamy almost Guinness like finish. NICE.

Overall Impression:
Give me more Bastards!! I like the regular, I like the double, I like the oaked, one of the best beers out there, pretty great in all its varieties. Try it, even if your not sophisticated enough to drink one.
Updated: Just tried this on tap for the first time...wow, what a great beer, and I thought the bottles I drank before were great.

Mar 28, 2009 Bottle from Utobeer. Ruby red with a warm yellowish head. Complex sweet aroma promising vanilla and green fruit. Flavours are lush vanilla with that challenging green fruit. Alcohol is noticeable. A great beer, no doubt.

Mar 28, 2009 For me, not an improvement over arrogant bastard ale. Great beer. Citrus and green plum, maybe currant, with some sweet malt that reminds me of a carmel nip. Nice, bitter finish.

Mar 27, 2009 12oz bottle. Aroma of citrus hops and earthy oak. Dark amber and cloudy with a thick tan head. Bitter hop flavor followed by a light sweetness, then finishes with a bitterness. Medium body, thick, oily feel, average carbonation, long, bitter finish. Another great Stone brew, I think I like this better than the standard Bastard.

Mar 27, 2009 As good if not better than the original. Great body and good balance. Beautiful hop flavor. Have another? YES.

Mar 26, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours clear brown with a nice light tan head. Sweet aroma strong in caramel, oak, maybe some dark fruits, a bit of hops, and some alcohol. Big caramel flavor and oak flavor, vanilla, with a strong hoppy pine bite. It’s certainly been a while since I had one of these, but drinking it now it’s a great combination of flavors. Great aroma, great flavor, great overall.
