Vital Statistics
From the brewer
Evenings trying to forget the crushing mediocrity of one’s life are typically the main driver to late-night breakfast plates at unforgivingly overlit diners stacked with industrialized, frozen-dumped-in-a-fryer “food.” An interlude between sophomoric late-night antics, questionable decisions and inevitable morning regret. That’s not how I play it. For those who know how to grab life by the horns*, however, this bottle pairs even better with accomplishment, life lived out loud, and well-timed moves that often appear as luck to those not paying attention. A specifically designed midnight brunch feast with like-minded folks who not only have their wits about them but actually have wits, and an artfully prepared feast sets the more appropriate stage for this beer. The bottle is worth a special occasion. Create yours to accompany it.

I'm not the biggest fan of these Double Bastard-based beers, but this one was really delicious. The maple is buttery and rich, mixing with the bourbon to give a kind of butter toffee flavor. There's still that very strong syrupy hop backbone that reminds you it's a Bastard, but here it's balanced very well by the other flavors. Huge surprise!
