Pours a deep red. Nose is wood, pine, citrus. Flavor is slight oak, bitter hops, sweet caramel malt. Finishes woody and dry. Excellent!

Pours a very rusty brown with a thick tan head. Smell is hops and wood. Taste is very hoppy with a bitterness that was both hop and the oak chips used in this beer. I was not impressed much at all, and would probably not drink this beer again; I am not fond of hoppy beers though.

Dark, rusty brown pour. Light, creamy head. Soft, dark fruit. Hoppy with a rounded oak finish. Subtle, but tasty. Not sure it’s quite worth the money or the hype, but it’s good.

Pours a nice solid ruby red with a decent amount of head. A medium to full bodied beer as far as I can tell. On the nose I get oak, malt, subtle hops, hidden fruit and a bit of a nut smell as well. On the palate I am getting oak and more oak, some malt sublties along with the wonderful hop flavor there as well. Excellent beer.

Bottle. [thank you, after4ever]
[vintage 2006]
Pours clear, dark amber with a great, large, creamy, beige head. Impressive hoppy aroma for a vintage, pine, grapefruit, caramel, blackberries, some oak. Low carbonation, fine creamy and dry mouthfeel. Flavour is very sweet at first, some berries, nuts, orange and caramel. Very bitter with lots of hops before a very dry finish sets in with lots of oak and dryness. Extremely dry finish, but very nice and enjoyable.

Dark reddish brown color with a white head that dissapates but does leave lacing indicating good ingredients. No carbonation seen in the glass. It looks like a scottish heavy. A very sweet malty aroma thats prominately featuring a pineapple fruit smell. There is a slight hop aroma but it pales to the fruitlike sweetness. Its a great smelling ale. The taste is a curious contradiction. Initially sweet fruity orange malt but it goes bitter from a large hop amoutn. The oak nuttiness is there in the taste as well. Palate is a bit heavy or surupy but acceptable. It is a unique and special ale.

Tap and Bottle. Very expensive six pack. I feel like the oak aging made a negative effect on the flavor, oak flavoring didn’t even show through. Tap offering was much better.

The oak chips seem to really smooth down the bite Arrogant Bastard carries - smooth malt undertone of toffee and caramel carries the Arrogant Bastard hop profile of aggressive resin and pine hops smoothly along with the oaked wood. Nice stuff.
Sampled at Rozi’s Wine & Liquor, Stone Tasting Event, Lakewood, OH.
