Stone Oaked Arrogant Bastard Ale

American Strong Ale

Stone, Escondido, California, USA

I RATE THIS BEER: 90

RELEASE: Year Round // THE ABV. 7.2% | IBU’s. ? // THE NOSE: Damp Cave, Musty Old Barn, Conifer Tree, Caraway, Wet Soil // THE TASTE: Cranberry, Espresso Bean, Pomegranate, Pine // THE BOTTOMLINE: This impressive beast of a beer has a very bitter oak aged heart, a heart pierced with shards of tart red fruit and splinters of damp wood. The brews wonderful musty aroma only amplifies its decidedly dark and earthy vibe. // THE BACKBONE: ? // PRICE POINT: $10 | 6x 12oz bottles //
