About
Since Arrogant Bastard Ale was first unleashed upon the unsuspecting public in 1997, the brand has been braving bold territory and upsetting dandies, milquetoasts and fizzy yellow beer drinkers in great numbers. Massively successful, and ever full of vip and vinegar, Arrogant Bastard Ale split off from the restrictive confines of Stone Brewing in 2015. And now, the brethren of Liquid Arrogance is free to explore, cavort and roam how they damn well see fit. For those Worthy few that wish to gaze upon the musings of Arrogant Bastard Ale, Double Bastard Ale, Bourbon Barrel-Aged Arrogant Bastard or other Bastard beers, follow along via Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Arrogantbastard.com.

Arrogant Bastard Ale from Arrogant Consortia

7.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
It is a really strong ale, the alcool dominates, malty, bready, sugar, some hop. Peronnaly, I prefer the IPA of these breweries, 30.08.17, at Prélaz.

Fat på Skaal . Tyvär måste jag nu lägga in denna som ny. igen från Stone?! Detta då tidigare betygsättning som gjordes för många många årsedan försvunnit ?? Ja ja. Nu kör vi igen. Här har vi sjukt häftig vinröd färgad dryck . Klunkar och frukter av vindruvor 🍇 samt efterföljande cederträ ..Tydlig maltsmak samt tydlig efterbeska. Jättegod som alltid . Saknar en redigt ölsite som var gjord för ölnördar . Ja ratebeer fanns ju snyft 😢

Double Bastard - Bigger Longer Uncut from Arrogant Consortia
1 year ago
7.6/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
The last thing I thought I would do is give this a solid average rating. I figured it was a love it or hate it proposition. A unique beer with massive taste (and ABV) but misses the mark on balance and blend, which lands it in the middle for me. The peaty scotch is flat out dominant in the nose and taste. Caramel malt, candied fruit, wood and smoke fight their way into the taste picture. I honestly can’t comment on the hoppy levels with the peat and Scotch profiles so high. Nice rich body and love the colour and luminous, unfiltered look. I will age a couple of these and see if the blends improve.

8.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 9 Texture 8 Overall 9
More stone bite. A dense off white head on a deep mahogany body. Nose is dank hops, citrus and brown sugar. A nice biting hop profile leads the way. Pineapple, lemon, pine resin, grapefruit and grass hops don’t let you off easy. Biscuity malt, caramel and honey take a clear second bill to the bitterness. Nice carbonation, and a solid mid density body add to a slick mouth feel. Oh, stop it, Stone people.

Who You Callin' Wussie from Arrogant Consortia

7.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
A pronounced pure white head on a yellow straw body. An understated nose features a spritz of lemon and pils malt. This is a stone revelation - understated, clean and a touch unobtrusive. Taste profile leads with classic pils malt but is supported by lemon and grapefruit hoppiness. It is reasonably dry with a touch of pepper and a hint of cherry in the aftertaste. Very clean, refreshing and light.

Arrogant Bastard Ale - Bourbon Barrel from Arrogant Consortia
1 year ago
7.2/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 8
Another heavy-weight ale in the arrogant bastard series. The nose leads with roasted caramel malt, with added touches of woodiness and bourbon. Signature deep roasted caramel malt leads the way with some raisins, dark berries and citrus and piney hops. The bourbon and oak have a slightly nasty edge to them. A dense body with a slick almost sticky mouth feel helps sustain both the malt and hoppy elements. Not their best of the brand by any stretch.

Another great offering from the dark side of Stone. A rich mahogany red body with a thin off-white head. Taste profile blends some fresh and powerful elements - earthy and fruity hops, rich, sweet caramel malt, dark berries, brandy and a hint of nuttiness. Rich and sustained taste.

Punishment from Arrogant Consortia

8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 9
As hot a tamale as advertised in their always provocative promotional material. Characterized as “a brave beer” by beer enthusiasts I shared this with, it’s hard to imagine how many peppers go into creating this searing sipper. On top of the heat, there are delicious caramel malts, bourbon from the barrelling and enough hops to support the taste. Nice one to share and I wish I had more.
