Booze...in 50 Words or Less: Stone Brewing Company Oaked Arrogant Bastard

Stone Brewing Company Oaked Arrogant Bastard
This morning, woke up on couch at 4:45 a.m. wondering why I wasn't in bed. The reason? First, had Abita Christmas Ale with dinner. Went to Chap's. Had Ommegang Adoration. Bought Troegs Mad Elf and Harpoon Winter Warmer growlers. Mixed one of these delicious monsters in somewhere. Eh. It happens.

Last I checked with Abita, drank their Restoration Pale Ale. Thought it was fairly bland. This is a major rally. One of the more interesting beers I've sampled recently. Hops and malt both pop. Serious smoky flavor. Detecting bits of spruce and something bacony (seriously). Wonderfully complex!
