Lukcy Basartd Ale was first released in November 2010 in celebration of the (lucky) 13th anniversary of Arrogant Bastard Ale. This powerfully complex beer is an amalgamation of three Bastards—Arrogant Bastard Ale, Double Bastard Ale and OAKED Arrogant Bastard Ale—unceremoniously thrown together and then dry-hopped to excess. Those Worthy souls who possess the nerve to try it will be rewarded with a delicious assault on their taste buds.

Draft at BitterCreek. Pours out a nice rich mahogany color with a small beige head. Aroma started off with some dark pit fruit, some tangy citrus, caramelly malts. Taste followed with more of the same, and a bit of the ABV and hops kicking in at the finish. Pretty accessible and tasty too.

Taken randomly from my NC. haul.

Deep amber with a slightly tan, persistent head that leaves a good bit of lace/rings.

Dominant caramel on the nose.

Caramel dominates the flavor too along with a quite massive hop smash and a touch of bitterness on the back end.

Medium full mouthfeel with sublime carbonation. Overall a highly enjoyable Strong Ale!

Deep caramel color with a persistent head and nice lacing.

Sweet caramel the primary smell.

Caramel malt backed up by woody, earthy, roasted, and citric notes.

Medium solid mouthfeel.

This is my favorite of the bastard series. A bit stronger and more complex flavored than the original, but not overpoweringly so. Great stuff.

22 oz. Bomber

Pours a very nice dark brown color, with some very nice carbonation, with a nice small/quick/fizzy light tan head, which leaves a nice medium size island and some sticky lacing. The nose is malty, with some very nice hoppyness, some licorice. The taste is very nice malty, very nice hop note, licorice notes. Medium body, with a very nice bitter/dry finish. ABV is hidden very well. Overall, a very nice brew. Glad that it is available to me.
