Description
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.

very dark copper/mahogany color.
Aroma is quite malty, and lots of floral hops, and citrus, with a really nie brown sugar/caramel sweetness. Flavour has some really nice caramel maltiness to it. Loads of floral hops, and a really awesome bitterness to finish. The alcohol is there, and gives a nice warming to your throat, but other than that the 10% is hidden VERY well. Wow. best american stone i’ve ever had, hands down!

Blik gedeeld door Roelzie. Het is een troebel roodbruin bier met een volle beige schuim. Het heeft een aroma van kruiden. De smaak is vreemd kruidig, kardemom en hop.

Lattina. Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso l'orzo tostato. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera normale e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di aspetto velato. Il colore è ambrato rossiccio carico tendente marrone. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è deciso. La forza gustativa è elevata e la permanenza è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è intenso. Al gusto vengono donati toni di caramello, miele, frutta secca, luppolo, resina e agrumi.

Bottle at home, at 8.1 abv. Aroma is biscuity malt, caramel, oak, vanilla, bourbon, touch of dried fruits and piney hops. Flavour is moderate sweet and nicely bitter. Body is medium. Not as fruity and piney as regular Arrogant Bastard, but damn tasty barrel aging. Nicely bitter and very drinkable.

Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. As Stone Brewing Berlin Enter Night. Grassy and softly hoppy Pils with an aroma of biscuity malt, citrus, bit flowery and herbal. Noble hops. Mild sweet and bitter, medium body. A very fine Pils.

Аромат горький, солод, совсем немного хмеля, легкая травянистость. Цвет темно коричневый, пена средняя. Вкус горький и ядреный с самого начала. Много солода, легкие травяные нотки, намеки на мед. При глотке не резкая но сильная и продолжительная хмелевая составляющая, при чем без ноток цитруса, исключительно еловые вещи. В общем пиво для мужиков, а я наверно буду сидеть в петушином углу и пить Хугарден.

Can 0,5 ltr: Slightly hazy yellow coloured brew with an dry bitter taste with citrus fruits mostly lime and some slightly caramel. Enter Night should be the name and colour of the can an Schwarzbier West Coast style.
