Arrogant Bastard Ale

Brewed by Stone Brewing Co.
Style: American Strong Ale
Escondido, California USA

Probably my favorite beer. Dark red/brown color, with a deep, complex flavor that fills up your palate.

This beer has a stout yet smooth flavor. It leaves a great aftertaste. This beere is a beer lovers beer. It’s a bit pricey....but well worth it!!!!!

Deep rich amber in color. I’d agree that this is an agressive beer. Flavors begin with malt but then progress to a complex bitterness. Full bodied.

Amazing beer. Caramel smell/taste with a bitter after taste. Burgundy color that is as pleasant to look as it is to smell as well as taste. A

On draft. Cloudy dark amber with an off-white head. Big malty aroma with lots of spicy, grassy hop notes. Great malty sweetness to start with a huge hop bitterness at the finish. Great beer.

Aroma: Hops. Alfalfa-grassy, grapefruit-citric, and rose-floral hops. An undercurrent of caramel malts comes through, but you have to really sniff for it. This has a a lot of what I’d describe as "va-voom." A very alluring nose. Appearance: Dark, bold, clear, rusty orange-red with magenta highlights and puffy parchment-colored head with great retention. Flavor: Much more malty than the smell (but still predominantly hoppy); a well-balanced ale. The hops are mostly grapefruit pith with a grassy character. Finish could be a bit cleaner, but on the whole, this is one yummy beer. Palate: The beer’s finish is ultimately crisp, dry, and hoppy, but it starts off strangely sticky and cloying. Other than that, no complaints. Smooth mouthfeel. Overall: I should have bought the six-pack instead of just the bomber.

This is one of my all time favorite brews, great hop flavor, very smooth finish, the aftertaste does linger for a little while.

orange brown haze, great aroma like apricots. taste very smooth also a hint of apricots. no after taste. not sweet or bitter very well balanced not a hint of alcohol even though it’s abv is 7.2%.
