Dec 10, 2008 To make the long story short, this is an over the top, super hoppy version of the Arrogant Bastard. The extreme hoppiness takes this one closer to a barleywine for me. An incredibly smooth brew for 10 percent.

Dec 8, 2008 Bottle. Dark amber, medium head. Vinous smell of plum, spice and some hoppy grass. Sweet, thick mouthfeel, rather intense flavour. Sugary flavour without really much to it, but which finds redemption in the nice spicy hop-bitter finish.

Dec 6, 2008 Bottle, poured into a Duvel tulip. Pours deep garnet topped by a receding beige head. Big nose of tangerine and grapefruit with a hint of sweetness. Deep penetrating bitterness is peppered with tangerine, resinous pine, grapefruit, and chewy bready malt flavors. Lasting finish. Very good.

Dec 5, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. One of the best Ive ever had. Perfect balance and awesome hoppy finish. Have nothing else to say. One of my all time favorites right away. Knocked me out.

Dec 5, 2008 The big brother to the oh-so-Arrogant Bastard. Never tasted the two side-by side, but that is OK because this beer is fantastic. Smells heavenly and hoppy. First taste warms you up right quick with a fairly bitter alcohol-flavored finish. Absolutely ruinous on the palate but I kind of like that. And now I am done because my post needs to be shorter.

Dec 5, 2008 22oz bottle. Beautiful mahogany color with a nice white head and good lacing. Nice deep hop aroma, with some nice malty balance. Very rich flavor, well balnced and delicious.

Dec 5, 2008 Bottle from BMan1113VR. Brilliant and clear red colored pour with a yellow head. Nose is passion fruit, caramel, slight banana and dark candi sugar. Taste is sweet, with many of the same components from the nose mixed with a dark tree fruit taste. Smooth and balanced mouthfeel, with a decent back end bitterness that is not overwhelming.
