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...

Heavenly malt, sweet, light hop aroma. Pours a deep cloudy amber with a 1 inch off-white head. Flavor is perfectly balanced sweet smooth mild caramel citrus hop, medium heavy malt and spring fresh mineral. Starts out incredibly smooth, then turns to a slow burn several seconds later. Mouthfeel is pure bliss. Aromatic and tasty smooth hops. This is the king of winter warmers. Thank God its 50 degrees today in Texas. Lacing is something to be jealous of. Enjoyment factor is high. To be used in only the highest quality company of friends.

So happy I finally picked one of these up. After a string of so so Ales, this one really pops. Great aroma of sharp citrus hops and sweet candied fruit. Burst of flavor that matches the aroma well with a good, paste your tongue to the back of your throat citrus bite that I like so much.

Poured from a 22-oz bomber into a snifter. Appearance was a dark amber color with an off-white head. Nice lacing on the glass as the beer went down. Spicy hops and candi sugars are on the aroma. This has a creamy mouthfeel as it leads to the taste of caramel malts with a finish of peppery, spicy hops on the finish. I felt this was much better than the Arrogant Bastard Ale.

Had this many times, last from giant bottle at Tiger. Always good, rich and smooth with wonderful hops and malts. Caramel and molasses sweetness. Alcohol well hidden, I bet would age great.

Dégusté avec Agaguk et Pyrozoid. Apparence orange foncé nuageux avec une belle grosse mousse beige tres collante. Aromes de caramel, butterscotch, nougat, dates, prunes, cassonade, zest d’orange et pamplemousse. Incroyable amertume crispé et piquante au début finition sec et crémeuse. Quel experience au niveau du palait! Super belle rondeur en bouche, parfaite équilibre. Gout de cuire, caramel, malté et bien houblonné! Superbe experience sensorielle!

Bouteille de 600 ml. Dégusté avec french tickler et Agaguk. Bière de couleur rouge caramel brumeux avec un bon collet collant. Arôme de sucre brun, vanille, un peu d’alcool, semblant de légume, senteur très fraiche. Saveur de sucre, un peu d’alcool, pamplemousse, citron et épices.
