This is another spur of the moment purchase. Back at my place of work in San Diego, CA I heard about a co-worker having a keg of Arrogant Bastard Ale. I thought this sounded amusing and I've had this beer recommended by several.Another signature brew from The Stone Brewing Company (this one is 'oaked'), it does not disappoint. The packaging is amusing and humorous as is the beverage description on the bottle. Who wouldn't enjoy drinking a brew taglined with "You're Not Worthy".
This ale is a darker brew with a red/brown hue. It pours thickly and the slightly creamy head retains some of the color. It is quite a pretty beer.
Since I can't really smell properly to describe the nose I would just like to state that it smells like beer, it smells sharp, and I can pick up a little bit of vanilla and fruitiness.
After drinking this beer you realize that the name is very appropriate. This beer just smacks you in face and the maltiness coupled with a strong hoppy flavor just kick-boxes your toungue around the inside of your mouth. I guess I am definitely "not worthy". While very tasty there is definitely a lot going on in this beer. It is definitely a good starter beer but more than one or two of these bad boys might cause your taste buds to go numb.
DRU: 79/100 (Dan's Rating Unit)
