Double Bastard Ale aged in Bourbon Barrels
A monster of a beer with a well-rounded assault of deep caramel, molasses, hops and brown sugar. Drunk new or years from now, it’s something special and the most graceful behemoth you’ll likely ever encounter. Aged 5 Months: 100% First-Use Kentucky Bourbon.

Saturday night bottle share. Bottle from Rich. Big rich wooden notes abound, smoky, caramel, stinging palate. Nice way to age the already stellar Double Bastard. Sip, savor and enjoy.

Bottled (from Alko web). Slightly hazy deep amber colour, not much head. Aroma is dried fruits, some berries, alcohol, plum and some spices. Flavour is quite strong on the alcohol, but nicely balanced with wood, vanilla, spices, plum and some mild sweetish berries to it. Delicate. Wood gets more evident as the beer goes warmer.

500ml bottle, purchased from the Richmond location. Poured a dark mahogany orange color with a touch of ruby. Off-white head. Aroma is similar to Oaked Arrogant Bastard or the Bourbon barrel aged version. Caramel is heavy in this one, but it's from 2015, so that's a bit understandable.

Smoke and some bourbon. Peat. Kind of has a charred vibe. Amber orange pour with good head. Smoky bitter finish with some caramel. Bottle.

Bottled 500ml (sic! Alko) Murky ruby-brown colour, small beige head. Oak, vanilla and alcohol in the nose. Medium to full-bodied. Toffee, oak, vanilla, lots of spicey hops, alcohol. Wood is quite dominant in this one. Very hoppy too. Ok.
