Commercial Description:
This is a lacerative muther of a beer. The evil big brother of Arrogant Bastard Ale. It is strongly suggested you stay far, far away from this beer. Those foolish enough to venture close enough to taste will experience a punishingly unforgiving assault on the palate. ’Course there’s always the masochists...

Poured an orange brown with a fluffy, lasting beige head that left a moderate amount of lacing. Very hoppy aroma with lots of floral, almost rose petal notes and citrus. Some gentle brown sugar sweetness. Flavor is complex and sweet with a long, dry, bitter hop finish. There’s some toffee, brown sugar, and vanilla sweetness and a bit of fruitiness up front. The bitter hops at the end are floral and citrusy, with grapefruit having a strong presence. The alcohol is hardly noticable considering the percentage. I didn’t think I could like this more than standard Arrogant Bastard, but I do.

Aroma: Very malty, caramel, dark fruit. Appearance: Cloudy reddish-brown with a head that all but disappears too quickly without much lacing. Taste: Very carmel malt tasting, pine resin, citrus. Palate: On the flatter side, thick and viscous, very nice long lasting finish. Overall: This is one ’stout, in-your-face’ beer. It’s got to warm up to get it’s full effect. Hides the ABV very well. Awesome beer and a definite treat. If you like Arrogant Bastard than this is a must!

Ruby copper with a medium tan head that leaves a ring of lace. Aroma of over-the-top hops, resin, citrus, orange, alcohol and caramel malt. Taste of heavy hops, citrus, caramel, alcohol and a touch of diacetyl. Overly aggressive that fatigues the palate quickly and finished up with moderate bitterness.

Bomber from my local. Pours a rusty brown with a minimal head that recedes quickly. Aroma isn’t very strong, picked up some citrusy hops but that was about it. Hops dominate this big guy but also has a nice malt backbone with a bit of pepper at the end. Lemon and alcohol linger through the finish but it’s not overwhelming. Good shit.

This beer has a sweet raspberry aroma. The flavor is malty with a light aftertaste. It has a very different flavor from the regular Arrogant Bastard.

Pours amber/ruby, almost tea-like, with a medium- to off-white retaining head from the 22oz. bottle: A heavy crystal malts bill on the nose. Flavors are oven-baked bread, toffee hard candy, toast, caramel, spruce hops, vanilla, and finally some alcohol, which stops shot of being overpowering. Significant bitterness plays with a large, multi-characteristic palate. Drinkability: So dangerous, so deceiving, it’s truly epic. Rebuy: Definitely. #239 on 06122009, DG.
