Commercial Description:
This is an aggressive beer. You probably won't like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to appreciate an ale of this quality and depth.

I’m not worthy. I decided to drink my first arrogant bastard while I was eating dinner, not really the best idea. The flavor basically slapped me in the face and completely overpowered the food.

This bottles got some age on it, i forget when i bought it? Malty nose, some caramel with spicy hops. Pours dark amber with a thick tan head. Very smooth, i can taste some age on it but its still great, the hops of mellowed. Its caramelly the hop presence is very spicy with hints of molasses.

This is one of the greatest ales i ever had. dark, hoppy, smooth, a little hint of bitterness. great tasting almost like grapefruit at times. reminds me alittle of seirra nevada, but a million times better. alot of complexicity going on in this bottle. goes down very easy. highly recommended

Nice brown color and a small tan head. Good malt on the nose for sure. Some hops on the nose and more on the tongue. Pretty good damn beer.

22oz bomber. Pours a brown-into-dark brown with a ruby red tint to it. Tan head which lingered. The smell is of caramel malt and pine hops, but not a strong or sweet nose. Taste is pine hops and malt but it comes across as harsh and NOT well balanced. Mouthfeel is harsh from burn with some carbonation and bitter, yet funky, finish that lingered forever.
