Be cautious. As always. Neither the OAKED Arrogant Bastard Ale, nor the Double Bastard Ale like being bottled up. The OAKED is feeling especially put out about the whole experience, so it is suggested that you either be extraordinarily polite to it (which we've been told doesn't work all that well...dunno...we've never tried that route ourselves), or move in with equal or greater arrogance to keep the beer in check. Good luck whichever approach you choose. You will need it.

Stone Double Bastard Tasting Notes

somper's picture

Tap at Burp Castle. Pours a beautiful, amber-red with ruby highlights and a firm, white head. Nose is potent with pine and citrus hop aromas. Flavor is deep and layered. At once sweet and bitter, notes of dark fruits, caramel and candy abound. A pretty thick beer, heavy, with mild carbonation. Finish is sticky sweet and somewhat bitter. Super beer.
