So in this epitome of pure rich fragrance and flavors you will find magic….lol unless you are one of the sheeple amongst the masses that could care less about good flavor of beer and actually believe that Bud is the King of beers….bah!!

The beer smells like like grassy hops, caramel, toffee and fruit. While the sweet caramel flavor is strong, the pine and grassy hops bleed leaving a nice residue of hops and sweetness to the tongue. There are also some flavors or red berries, raisins, cranberry, oak, vanilla, grapefruit, biscuit bread, oregano and basil. Not sure if this beer is meant to age as the hops and herbs are more apparent than in the 2010 one. I guess the reason could be because it shouldn’t be aged. According to the new bottle, it says: enjoy by Jan 31st, 2013. So yeah, drink before. Also, Double Bastard has more sweetness, but the overall combination of all the bastards makes this complex mesh, very enjoyable. If you love Arrogant Bastard, go get this one 😛

2010 version tried March 2012:
Lukcy Basartd or Cuvee de Bastard is what happens when you mix the best of all the bastards into one bottle. It rates at 8.5%ABV. You have to be one lucky bastard to be able to find this as it was extremely hard to find…LOL… The ale is a magic potion consisting of the original arrogant bastard, oak aged bastard, and the double bastard ales all in one. Aged even further you reach a state of ale
that is unlike any bastard I have ever had. You have your hops, you have your aged oak and malty earthy flavors of the double bastard. A mix between an IPA and a barley wine. Extremely delicious and strong 🙂 This bastard is definitely one that one may only have and enjoyed is small quantities as it is hard to find. So use that wine plug and save some for another day as this bastard although kicks you in the nuts, it is very forgiving. Free your mind from the oppression of the media, take a sip of this and remember, there is more to beer in life than the usual stuff they have off of every liquor section’s shelf. Dig deeper in that rabbit hole to find the gold!! Happy St. Patrick’s day http://www.arrogantbastard.com/lukcybasartd/
