Dec 11, 2009 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.

Dec 10, 2009 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!

Dec 9, 2009 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.

Dec 7, 2009 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.

Dec 6, 2009 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.

Dec 6, 2009 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.
