Arrogant Bastard Ale

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

Popped the top..."low and behold"..the roasted smell lingered from the bottle with seriousness. Poured it in to a cold glass and and its dark brownish-red color was tantalizing and complex when tasted. This beer is brewed right ! Strong "Roasted Hops" flavor with enough power to back it up..As it states on the bottle "YOU’RE NOT WORTHY"...words speak for its self’..and so does this beer...

Nice deep red pour with a small head. Aroma and taste are sweet and smooth and a slight bitterness that hangs on. A nice malty citrus feel on the tongue.

bomber from premier gourmet. poours deep reddish brown with a lovely tan head. big malty aromas. caramel, candy, fruitiness. big hops in the aroma as well: grapefruit, citrus. the flavours are well balanced and quite enjoyable. not really anything negative to point out and while i enjoyed it it didnt really blow me away. id gladly purchase this anytime.

Wow. I love this beer not only for its taste but for its class. Stone rocks.

Great beer. Very accessible. Tasty plum and caramel flavor. Well balanced hop flavor.

Bomber bought in Carpenteria, CA, this beer pours a beautiful dark amber-brown with a well-formed tan head. Very attractive when sitting in the glass! Aroma of caramel malt, citrus, grape, and wood. Initial palate features bitterness, followed by a sweetish blend of Muscat grape, soft caramel, and gummy bear flavor. Finishes bitter again of aggressive hops, some plum, and a hint of warming alcohol. This is really something special, very well rounded.

A beautiful-looking beer--pours a nice reddish brown color with a creamy moderate head with excellent retention and lacing. Aroma is moderate with piney hops and citrus notes. Flavor is both stronger and more complex. Lots of strong bitter hops, but with some more subtle notes of caramel malt. Dry finish with some lasting hop bitterness. Yet surprisingly smooth for a beer with such a bitter hop bite. Very, very nice.

Bottle. Orange and pine form the initial shockwave on my palate, then the bitter malty finish takes hold. A big, full flavored brew that packs a powerful punch. Stone rocks!
