Stone Brewing - Double Bastard Ale

Consider this the amplified version of the already assertive Arrogant Bastard. Stone Double Bastard is an intensely rich and powerful American Strong Ale, boasting an even higher ABV and a more concentrated hop and malt profile. Expect a truly audacious and complex beer that's not for the timid.

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: Explosive notes of pine resin, citrus peel (grapefruit, orange), dark fruit (raisins, figs), significant caramel and toffee malt sweetness, and a noticeable alcoholic warmth.
• Flavor: A massive wave of hop bitterness balanced by a deep and chewy malt complexity with flavors of caramel, toffee, and molasses. Notes of dark fruit intertwine with the assertive pine and citrus hop character.
• Mouthfeel: Full-bodied and viscous, with a warming sensation from the high alcohol content and moderate carbonation.
• Finish: Exceptionally long and lingering bitterness intertwined with a significant malty sweetness and a pronounced alcoholic warmth. This beer leaves a lasting impression.
