I was feeling Friday from the moment I woke up Friday morning. Four day work weeks are great and all, but I had been working all week to cram the fifth day in. Sound familiar? I put the 2008 Double Bastard, decade anniversary into the fridge as my reward. Released in November of 2008, this 10.5% abv Double IPA pours a medium caramel color with a nice cream colored head. The nose was powerfully floral with an obviously high IBU. The first sip was full of intensity. Definitely a Double Bastard.
Poured into a Stone 14th Anniversary tasting glass for the primary reason of self control. If I pour this beer into a taller glass, I drink the beer that much faster. I'm just trying to extend my pleasure. Ya know what I mean? This was a fantastic beer, I'm looking forward to this years release with great anticipation. Remember, life is too short to drink bad beer.
