    I like the matchup threads that have been popping up, thought I'd add one with two beers I love and have in the fridge right now. Arrogant Bastard is always a solid choice and hard price to beat, but I always look forward to kicking back a few bottles of Nosferatu every fall while watching football.

    Arrogant Bastard, hands down. The Nosferatu I tried once on a whim just because of the name. Whew. I could not appreciate that one at all.

    Nosferatu is one of my favorites for the fall, just seems to match the weather perfectly.

    Both good beers, but I get more excited for Nos because it's not a year round beer like AB. Cheers!

    Both are good beers in their own right, but I don't think this should be much of a contest. Nosferatu all the way.

    Don't make me choose! But my reviews say I give a slight edge to AB, probably because it's year-round.

    I love Nosferatu and really need to get around to having a fresh Arrogant Bastard. I had one very early in my craft beer drinking experience and was probably not ready to appreciate a beer like that yet. Love almost everything I have had from Great Lakes and Stone.

    I love both, but I think I'd give the edge to Nosferatu, even though I think I rated Arrogant Bastard slightly higher.

    I personally think Nosferatu and Cane & Ebel are very similar in taste.

    I had fresh Nosferatu last night. Blows AB out of the water.

    I like the fact it's seasonal because I know its fresh.

    Luckily it's not a problem because both of these breweries bottle date!!! :slight_smile:

    Both great beers but I'll give the edge to AB for the age ability factor.

    I like both brews, but Nosferatu just smokes AB IMO. Nosferatu is a beer that I get a barrel of every year.

    Not even Blackout Stout? I love that beer, as well as the Barrel Aged version. Cheers! Also love Independence Ale (wish they'd bottle it).
