Jul 19, 2008 Good beer that I have had a number of times. Pours a dark reddish color wtih a mostly white head. Aromas of dried fruit, hops, malt. Flavor is nice. Body isnt totally full, but still a good mouthfeel. Hops and malt are evident wtih a certain hint of wood...surprise!(not)

Jul 17, 2008 (From 12 oz. 6’er purchased @ Liquor Barn in Louisville, KY). Bottle poured into trappist glass- poured dark ruby red brown, filmy off white head with some lacing. Aroma of dark caramel, pine, and floral hops. Hits the mouth with high-medium body, the hops come in the from the start but midway through the swallow they start to mellow. Finish has a hardwood quality that doesn’t take anything away from enjoying it, it adds to it. I just might have to have a few more of these...

Jul 16, 2008 Bottle. Color is reddish brown with a thin head. Aroma is malty and sweet with some alcohol. Flavor is sweeter and more malty than that of the regular Arrogant Bastard. Has a smoother finish, without the harsh hoppy bite...but that’s what I like about Arrogant Bastard that this beer is lacking. A slight variation that might be more drinkable for some people.

Jul 15, 2008 Bottle from mashmaster. Thanks! Brownish is color with a decent one finger head. Taste is nice maltiness a hint of oak. Just a touch of hop/bitterness. Suprisely smooth and creamy texture. I usually frown when things are oak aged...it takes away from the original ingrediants, but this well done. Good beer!

Gem ruby pour, offwhite head.
hoppy, very piney aroma, little bit of grapefruit. sweet malts of toffee, and citrusy hops. Aging mellows this brew out and tames it somewhat. The oakiness is evident at the finish, which is slightly dry.

Jul 13, 2008 While I have to admit that American Strong Ales are not quite my suit -- the oak used in brewing this variation of Arrogant Bastard is worth sampling, as it’s certainly more mellow and enjoyable than it’s predeccessor.

Jul 9, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a deep reddish copper color with a medium sized orange tan head. The aroma is an ample amount of moderately sweet caramel malt with an orange citrus fruitiness. The oak chips apparently have mellowed the typical Stone hops. The flavor is much of the same as the aroma, generous amounts of caramel malt and citrus intermingle throughout. The oak chips are noticable and carry with them a subtle vanilla flavor as well. Mouthfeel is full and chewy. This one is a smoother version of the original. It’s a nice change, but sometimes I just need the hops.

Jul 7, 2008 Bottle, brought back from City Beer in San Francisco and eventually shared with tashi at his house, 15th June 2008. Pours a reddish, orangey amber. The aroma and flavour both kick off with fresh nectarine notes and then woody oak, bitter hops and thick highland toffee come through. The slightly creamy mouthfeel gives you time to savour the taste and the long bitter finish makes sure you don’t forget it. A highly enjoyable beer. Oh and "Hi Phyllis!"
