Arrogant Bastard Ale

Brewed by Stone Brewing Co.
Style: American Strong Ale
Escondido, California USA

From 22oz bottle. A good, solid ale. Not exciting, not disappointing, just a good, solid ale. The marketing shtick on the bottle is a little silly and would probably be better applied to a better beer, but it’s fun.

Bottle. Good beer but the oaked version is even better. Has strong citrius aroma although appearance was a bit cloudy. Medium body with a moderate bitter taste.

Pours with a medium sized light brown head that is mostly diminshing. The body of the beer is brown, coffee like color with hints of red in it. The aroma smells of dark fruits, some molasses, and some caramel. Initial flavor is sweet with and finishes off with a bitter taste that lingers in the mouth long after the beer is finished! amazing! It is creamy on the palate with light carbonation. Amazing beer to have with close friends during a labor day bbq!

Had this several times before but never got around to rating it. Reddish copper color, medium receding head. Abrasive hop bitterness - coniferous. Crystal malt. Either a little past its prime or Arrogant Bastard is slipping. Based on the last two samples, I’m not really digging this these days.

22 shared with Brie. I have had this beer many times. This time I am drinking it at cellar temp and it is sweet and flavorful. I picked it up at a grocery store on my way home from hiking Mount Monadnock. The flavors are molasses and pine tree hops. Yumarooski.

The folks at Stone Brewing Company certainly know how to market a beer AND make it taste great! I didn’t expect this beer to be so good simply because the bottle was so great to read. Well, it was good. Very good! It pours a nice dark reddish brown. It’s hoppy and smells pleasant. You can taste caramel and chocolate in it. The finish is slightly bitter yet very pleasant. This is one everyone must try at least once.

Dark red brown pour with some haze. Hoppy aroma with raisins, caramel and chocolate. Malt flavor with a ton of piny hops. Creamy with caramel. Bitterness and alcohol flavor linger on the tongue.

bomber from premier gourmet. poours deep reddish brown with a lovely tan head. big malty aromas. caramel, candy, fruitiness. big hops in the aroma as well: grapefruit, citrus. the flavours are well balanced and quite enjoyable. not really anything negative to point out and while i enjoyed it it didnt really blow me away. id gladly purchase this anytime.
