Alex Slack ’06 and Ian W. Nichols ’06 engaged in exhaustive research for this week’s article.
Stone Brewery’s Arrogant Bastard Ale is the peanut butter of beer. The offensive hops flavor relentlessly clings to the palate, practically shearing off the outer-most layers of mouth tissue…mmmm. Whole and complex in taste, the brew carries hints of burnt caramel and toffee. The Bastard appears rusty in color, with an off-white head and a sweet, aromatic scent. twenty-two oz bottles of Stone Arrogant Bastard Ale can be purchased at University Wine on 1739 Mass Ave, next to The Cellar.
