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.

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!
