Not like added lime or anything, just there as part of the beer.
Now...Double Bastard is indeed a heavy hitter. The Pittsburgh bar where I enjoyed a couple of Ruinations earlier in the week had a 3-liter bottle on the shelf. Only $130 but we might have needed more than just the 3 of us to get through it.

We only get Double Bastard in 22 oz bottles here. It is a good thing. It is enough.
