Members y-o-y Posted September 17, 2007 Author Members Share Posted September 17, 2007 First impressions: too much. This SOB is 8.7% alcohol, and I think that it is a bit excessive. I will say, however, that as far as high-alcohol content beers goes, this one does a nice job of not tasting too boozy. There is a hint of everything that is good about Arrogant Bastard, but it is very hoppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members willsellout Posted September 18, 2007 Members Share Posted September 18, 2007 Well it is an IPA, what did ya expect? I would love to try this out and test it against Rogue's "Brewer" which is basically the same thing; a black IPA. I will have to special order some from Safeway I think Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roguetitan Posted September 18, 2007 Members Share Posted September 18, 2007 it is a little too stout for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members y-o-y Posted September 18, 2007 Author Members Share Posted September 18, 2007 it is a little too stout for me. I think the AB is just right. Even the Oaked Arrogant Bastard is a little over the top. I think it is hard to overcome 8.7% alcohol and have a truly great tasting beer and balanced beer...and that includes IPA's.

You just haven't adjusted yet:DSeriously the best high ABV beer I've encountered is Astoria breweries Bitter Bitch..possibly the smoothest DIPA I've ever had. Although Rogue's Brewer is seriously tasty as well. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
