Stone Brewing’s Arrogant Bastard Ale says it all: cheeky and edgy. Stone Brewing promotes the American Strong Ale with a provocative advertising campaign that does the beer justice. The beer is not for beginners and especially not for wimps, it is unlikely that any beer drinker has enough expertise to even begin to understand this beer - says Stone. Intense is probably the word that best describes the Arrogant Bastard Ale.
The Arrogant Bastard is also called liquid arrogance by the brewers at Stone Brewing. The beer, which shines in a strong reddish brown, bubbles finely in the glass and has a stable head of foam. The chestnut color promises a beer that is heavy and powerful in taste. That’s exactly what it is: the malty sweetness of caramel and dried fruits meets an almost coffee-like bitterness that outlasts the notes of dark berries in the drink. The Arrogant Bastard Ale is a complex, multi-layered composition of furious fruit notes, dark roasted and malt tones and bitter forest notes. Not for beginners and definitive in beer that demands attention and challenges even the experienced palate.
