Oaked Arrogant Bastard Ale

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours a reddish brown with a white head. Aromas of stewed apples, cinammon, blackberries, malts. Flavours of sultanas, raspberries, bitter chocolate, wood,. Good alcohol burn. Fierce hoppy finish.

12 oz. bottle from Casanova. Deep red pour with a thick white head. Aroma is malt, hops with a bit of citrus. Hops come through in the flavor as well as does the nice malt balance. Lingering bitter finish, another fine offering from Stone.

12oz Bottle. Very similar to arrogant bastard ale. subtle oak taste. Very good drink.

Dark copper with a lasting tan head. Malty aroma with lots of oak. Sweet and malty flavour with a good hop flavour and bitterness. Oak tannin drying out the finish

Poured from a bottle aged about 8 months after purchased. Earthy, floral hop aroma that leaves a big foamy head. This bastard won’t blow you away like its younger brother. After aging, the malt really breaks through the hops, making for a well balanced beer.

Bottle. Trade with Baggio. Pours hazy amber/orange with a small creamy white head. Oaky, sweet, fruity, vanilla. Smooth and medium palate. Hops in the end. Nice

Pours like a reddish shade of iced tea with quickly fading creamy off-white head. Aroma of raisins, malt, caramel, raspberries, and pine. Flavor is not heavy but intense of pine hops with some caramel in the background. An increasingly bitter finish but still on the smooth side. Some hoppy goodness.

330 ml bottle. Hazy brown colour. Small off-white head. Vanilla aroma and grassy hops. Lacking its usual liveliness that you find in the regular version. Oily texture with a lot of bittering hops, vanilla and dark malts. Not at all bad, but it feels a little non-harmonic. One can also taste the wood. Astringent tannins and oak character. Finish is quite bitter, but the residual sweetness can handle that nicely.
