Commercial Description:
This is a lacerative muther of a beer. The evil big brother of Arrogant Bastard Ale. It is strongly suggested you stay far, far away from this beer. Those foolish enough to venture close enough to taste will experience a punishingly unforgiving assault on the palate. ’Course there’s always the masochists...

Shared by afire-thanks Waylo. I continue to enjoy the beers from Stone and this Strong Ale was another well done experience. Cloudy and mead looking copper pour with simmered beige head. Toasty and malty with a blend of aromatic hops. Caramel and roasted smooth quality with the alc mixed in making this a strong and bold flavorful body. Good stuff and will buy and cellar some for future feasting. Cant wait to savor again!

On draft at Teresa’s. Poured ruby in a tulip glass. Rings of lacing. Spicy, citrus bomb. No alcohol noticeable (beer menu at Teresa’s had said only 7.5% ABV). Very smooth and dangerously sessionable regardless of the alcohol content.

On tap at Flying Saucer Austin. Glad they were able to get this one in. Amber or almost ruby in color, with a foamy off-white head. Astringent, sharp, bitey and citrusy bitterness in an almost harsh way, but yet it’s an excellent flavor. None of the 10% ABV shows up, either. It’s lots and lots of hops, but maintains some balance and ends up a lovely beer.

Bomber. Pours ruby with a moderate tan head. Aroma of grapefruit hops, alcohol, caramel malt, wood, and some fruit. Flavor is a strong combination of similar elements, with lots of hops and malts, heavy on the grapefruit and toffee. Both the hops and malts contribute to a thick, syrupy/resiny character, and there’s quite a bit of alcohol present too. It all pulls it off surprisingly well, though; something like this could very easily have turned into a rough mess.

This is a very, very good brew! Excellent aroma and flavor! Pours a nice amber color with a whitish head. Al lot smoother than I was expecting. A definite must try!
