      It's come time to speak of the Bastard. He pours with a head that this mustache has really come to love. It splashes on me and it's real hard to curl, every follicle quakes in the flavor. You swoosh it in the mouth and you taste the malts and the hops on full display. With so much character you think it's a barley wine. As soon as you swallow, though, the hops take back over and echo forever with small hints of malt in it's wake. Great beer and amazing when you can fill a growler of it.
      The bastard doesn't make friends, it gathers followers. In fact it tells you if you don't like it to stick it. Stone brewery has a great way of aggravating you into tasting a beer. Once you do though you're hooked. If you get the chance to get a double or triple bastard have at it. My favorite is still the original though.
