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.

When I read "you probably won’t like it" I knew I was in for something, but something this good, didn’t even cross my mind. What a HUGE ale. Get some!

2006 keg on tap. Pours with a small off-white head covering a murky brownish amber body. Aroma of brandy, raisins, dark fruits and chocolate. Taste is strong carmabel and brandy, still a bit too hot (alcohol wise), and unrefined compaired to the 2005 Double Bastard I had on tap last time. Some vanilla in the finish. Great!

From tap at Stone Bistro. Pours a clear golden amber with a creamy tan head. Mellowed down in aroma and flavour on malt and bread compared to the none-oaked version, but goes rather smooth and light. Smooth finish too with a mild spice note.

Bottle courtesy of IdateTheFormula & vsdef42. Pours ruby/amber. Head is white/nutty. Aroma is oaky and light toffee, malty and roasted. Taste is oaky followed by a wonderful taste of caramel/toffee malts. It settles perfectly, smooth lightly roasted. The oak is hidden and doesn’t take away form the complexity. I can’t help but love all the Stone offerings, this is one solid beer by a great brewery.

2006 Keg on draught at Stone Bistro. Pours with a slightly murky brown body with a small, tight, off-white head that leaves great lacing. Aroma is complex, with currants, raisins, and light oxidation. Tastes is amazing, very rich and spicey with a really long duration, and a nice alcohol bite at the finish. A little bit of sherry and other oxidized notes. Lively bubbles.
