Double Bastard

In the early hours of Christmas Eve, after the Candlelight Service at church, my wife lays out for us a surreal spread of delicacies: stuffed mushrooms, crab Rangoon dip, and Ethan’s favorite little weenies. To go with it I had the last beer in my Advent beer calendar, the beer Sandy had especially appointed for me, the Double Bastard. Strong in malt and hop flavors it lives up to its name.

From the label: Warning: Double Bastard Ale is not to be wasted on the tentative or weak. Only the Worthy are invited, and then only at your own risk. If you have even a modicum of hesitation, DO NOT buy this bottle. Instead, leave it for a Worthy soul who has already matriculated to the sublime ecstasy of what those in the know refer to as "Liquid Arrogance."
