Bottle: pours a cloudy, reddish brown with a frothy tan head, dark fruit aroma, taste is kinda flat, maybe that is how it is supposed to taste with oak aging? I also pick up a little bit of hops up front with a very dry and almost flavorless finish. I’m not impressed. Maybe I got a bad bottle?

12 oz single from Frugal MacDoogal’s in Nashville. Aroma of oak wood. Tastes like a mellowed arrogant bastard. Great beer.

The aroma really stands out as great: old oak barrels and some fruity aromas. The taste is initially quite hoppy, with a decent bite. After a few drinks it warms up and really releases a fruity and oak like flavor. A really nice drink. I haven’t had the ’regular’ one yet, but I am looking forward to it. Awesome brew.

Draught @ Issaquah Brew House. Pours a dark amber color with a small off-white head. Has a malty hoppy aroma with some hints of oak. Very malty hoppy vanilla and woody flavor. Long malty warming finish with some hoppy and woody hints in the aftertaste.

Pours amber just like regular AB but the smell is a lot more mellow. Oaked tastes similar but goes down smoother than the regular. This is good because more can be had, but the kick of Arrogant Bastard is what makes it so great.

Bright ruby in color with a good sized beige head. Oak and hop aromas and flavors. The oak flavor is more of a leafy live oak flavor and balances well with the hop charicter. A rich, woody finish and aftertaste.

I had this the other night with a girlfriend, who actually split it with me! cheers for finding a girl with good taste in beer! anyways, the rating: I was expecting a harsh beer, due to the description, but it was actually quite smooth and drinkable. the aroma had some slight fruityness, and the flavor was oaky, but with hints of citrus and flowers. Very tasty!

Bottle courtesy of IdateTheFormula & vsdef42. Pours ruby/amber. Head is white/nutty. Aroma is oaky and light toffee, malty and roasted. Taste is oaky followed by a wonderful taste of caramel/toffee malts. It settles perfectly, smooth lightly roasted. The oak is hidden and doesn’t take away form the complexity. I can’t help but love all the Stone offerings, this is one solid beer by a great brewery.
