Oaked Arrogant Bastard Ale

aroma was loaded with sweet vanilla. the oak is in perfect proportion to not over power any other flavors. the taste is full of vanilla, toffee and hops. as it warmed a little more oak became apparent. great beer

you can really smell the vanilla an toffee smells from the oak, im quite surprised. very delicious, i love this beer. every flavor is very big without being overwhelming

12oz bottle. Very dark red color. Oaky, hoppy aroma, very nice. Taste is much the same, with a dry finish.

12 oz bottle at Akkurat, Stockholm. Dark reddish color. Strong perfumed and lemony hop aroma with berries, toffeish maltiness and raspberry. Bittersweet flavor with lemony hops as well as firm toffeish and caramelly maltiness. Chewy mouthfeel but not as chewy as in ordinary AB. Excellent bittersweet and hoppy finish.

Bottle. Dark woody brown beer with a strong dulled white head. The aroma is very deeply hopped, roasted and dry. The flavour is roasted and very, very bitter and very, very well hopped. Overall a really good strong tasting beer.

Wafty hop aroma with woody oak and grassy soil. Dark caramel with solid head (slightly beige). Metallic and bitter on the tongue, some citrus tones. I was disappointed overall, very metallic and I got mostly cheap oak chip character from the oaking. Tangy and bitey on the tongue, smooth and velvety in the mouth.

Bottle.Pours a dark murky golden brown with amber red highlights. Frothy 2 finger head with good retention. Wonderful sheets of lacing. A woody vanilla aroma with sweet caramel malts and a hint of fruit like rasins.Flavor is complex,mellow taste of sweet malts and a big of floral spiciness.Big smooth creamy mouthfeel,with a crisp dry hop finish.VERY GOOD

So phenomenal. It had hoppiness it was crisp, it was sweet I dont know what they did but it is an amazing beer.
