Feb 8, 2010 Bottle. No head. Very dark hazy red brown body. Powerful roasted malt aroma with strong vineous notes coffee but also some acidicty and a good dela of alcohol. Flavor likewise dominated by heavily roasted barley malt but notes of earth and wood are also present.l Low carbonation, long bitter aftertaste. I do however think that the alochol is too dominant.

Feb 5, 2010 Bottled. Pours a red color with a nice beige head. Aroma is dominated by caramely, toffeish malt, vanilla, oak and american citrusy hops (even though they are not that dominating). Flavour is nice with oak, vanilla, caramel/toffee, and some coconut. Finish is bitter. Mouthfeel is really smooth, and the beer is medium bodied. Very nice, but I want to try the original Arrogant Bastard sometime...

Feb 5, 2010 Pours a deep copper hue with a full creamy head. This smells surprisingly rather sweet from the notes of vanilla that I seem to be picking up. There also seems to be an underlying citrus aroma from the hops. Definitely bitter hops is the flavor of the day with this one, much like the original Arrogant Bastard. There is a bit of a sweetness in this one that is not present in the original.

Feb 4, 2010 12oz bottle from Brewery Creek in Vancouver. An aroma of hard citrus hops. If bitter is aroma you can smell it in this beer. It makes your mouth water. A slightly hazed brown colour with a thick lacing. A flavor of grapefruit and apples. The oak is present but subtle and not intrusive. Excellent. A solid palate neither over carbonated nor thin. Overall a very good beer.

Jan 28, 2010 Wasn’t expecting to enjoy this as a couple of personal reports stated that they didn’t like it, well I didn’t mind it. Clear reddy body with short but lasting head. Some caramel and grapefruit on the nose, didn’t really notice the caramel in the taste but picked up on the oak and also some raisins. Easily drinkable for me.

Jan 27, 2010 very very good, much like the arrogant bastard...big bold hops, smooth finish, full body of a brown ale as opposed to lighter IPA, the oak seems to mellow and smooth this bad boy out, strongly recommended
