One of the beers we really miss not being able to get in IL is Stone Brewing Co.'s Arrogant Bastard. We've had the pleasure of having this on tap in other states, but grabbed a bottle for review on our trip to Wisconsin.If you haven't read the label on this beer, check it out as it's rather funny. They flat out tell you that you won't like the beer. Well...I guess they were wrong!
Aroma: Malty, slight chocolate, subdued hops.
Appearance: Pours a deep amber with a thick, foamy off-white head.
Flavor: To quote Matt: "Awesome." There's a prominent Chinook hop flavor, which makes it pretty darn bitter. But it's also got some toasty malt to it. Basically, it's a very complex and potent beer.
Mouthfeel: Creamy and easily drinkable. Finish is a little "hot" and alcoholic.
This is definitely not a a beer for the lighthearted. But if you're brave and can find it, never pass up the chance to sample the bastard.
