Sep 22, 2008 (Bottle, Akkurat, Stockholm) Dark reddish amber colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of dark fruit, caramel, oak wood, vanilla and citrussy hops. Malty taste with dark fruit, dried apricots, caramel, toffee and lots of wood. Generous amounts of citrussy hops in a long, earthy finish. Surprisingly nice balance for such a cocky beer. Very nice one.

Sep 21, 2008 Bottle - Pours a cloudy reddish/brown – unappealing, not pretty to look at. Ok, I’ll say it, It is ugly. Smells of deep fruits and lots of alcohol. The aroma is complex with honey and pear battling a ton of other notes all screaming to be heard. First sip is tangy/bitter – also complex. There is a whole lot going on here. The oak really makes this 7.2% ABV beer seem a ton stronger. An intriguing complex ale that is spicy, bitter, and tangy. You have my attention.

Sep 19, 2008 Bottle. Poured a clear ruby brown with a creamy off-white head that settled to a thin layer that lasted and left good lacing. Nice fruit aroma with some oak and hops. A hint of vanilla comes out in the aroma as it warms. The flavor finds an enjoyable fruitiness backed with a hoppiness and malt mix. Medium body with a moderate bitterness. Smoother and the alcohol hidden better than the regular Arrogant Bastard. Very Nice!

Sep 18, 2008 Just as attractive as it’s non-oaked brother. Red with a large off-white head. A touch of citrusy hops melded to the taste of raw wood chips. Some noticeable fruity notes as well. Tasty but I prefer the original.

Sep 14, 2008 Pours ruby red with a nice pinkish head. Smells of oak, roses, citrus, resiny, pepper, spicy. Tastes oaky with a nice accompaniment of bitter hops, citrus, perfume, some cognac qualities. Very enjoyable.

Sep 14, 2008 bottle thanks to walden 28. this is a beautiful beer. poured a deep ruby red with a beige head. aroma was very hoppy. smell reminded me of a juniper bush. taste was pretty much nothing but hops. hints of oak were present as well. good beer! if you plan on tasting a different beer afterwards you may need to rinse your mouth out to avoid crossing the hops from this one
