Stone Brewing "Oaked" Arrogant Bastard


4 out of 5 Hops


Another Great Brew from the folks at Stone Brewing (www.stonebrew.com). I've long been a fan of their many tasty beers. This of course is the oak barrel aged the Arrogant Bastard ale which falls somewhere between an Amber and an IPA...like an Anabolic Amber. Rumor has it the IBU is somewhere in the 100-102 range with all Chinook hops. This bad boy runs 7.2% ABV and has a smokey hopped aroma. Taste is smoother than regular Arrogant with a distilled liquor after taste. Careful chuggin these down, they are addicting. Its a sit and relax and sip kinda brew for me. Damn fine beer.
