Draft at Stone Bistro. Pours a golden red amber. Flavors of white oak, vanilla, orange peel. Very balanced and smooth. Warm mouth with a nice bitter finish.

Bottle - Poured a hazy reddish brown in color with almost no head.... low carbonation. Aroma is quite hoppy with a distinct woodiness and some vanilla besides. Flavor was very hoppy (citrus and spice) along with some of the oak. Finishes with a nice hop bitterness. I like this *much* better than the regular Bastard. Stone Brewing rules... I love their beer!

On tap at Redlight! The smells of oak and vanilla come through much stronger than the normal hoppiness of the Arrogant Bastard. The taste is smooth and full of vanilla, with a slight citrus bitterness. Overall, the oak aging adds an odd little element to the original Arrogant Bastard.

Aroma of wood, vanilla, sweet toffee, and a slight amount of alcohol.... Appears hazy ruby with a slight amount of lacing... The taste has a certain creaminess which mellows the hops significantly... Finishes with the malt sweetness and the aroma alcohol does not come through in the taste... A good beer, but i definitely prefer the crispness of the original to the mellow woodiness of the Oaked...

Bottle. Pours amber with beige head. Aroma of hops, with a slight oak aroma mingling with the malts. Flavor is hoppy citrus, balanced out in the finish with slight bitterness, oak, and malt sweetness. Just enough bite.

Bottle from Willow Bend Liquors (Lutz, FL) pours a dark copper amber color witth a dense, foamy beige head. Looks great partly due to the excellent lacing along the side of the glass. Initially the aroma is mostly resin and piney hops, but upon second inspection the oak becomes more noticeable. This incarnation seems to have a more mellow flavor than the original due to the oak aging. You can really appreciate the oak in the aftertaste. I love the bitterness in the finish! The mouthfeel is quite smooth and creamy, but includes a nice bite on the tongue.

Deep reddish copper with a big foaming beige head. Aroma is a really great mix of oak, piney hops and big caramelized malts. Palate is full but rounded and soft. Resiny hopped but mellow and nearly balanced. Fully bitter finish.
