Commercial Description:
Born of humble beginnings and of Scotch Heritage, Fat Bastard quietly arrived one winter day at Silver City Brewery in 2001. Exceptionally smooth and malty with a touch of peat character, Fat's legend quickly grew. Today, Fat stands astride the brewing landscape a behemoth brew, uncompromising and unavoidable. (Formerly Fat Bastard)

22 oz. bottle. Rich nose with dark dried fruits and toffee. Intense, slightly cloying malty monster. Finishes with a hint of burnt sugar bitterness. Very good for wintertime sipping next to a roaring fire.

Pours a dark brown, beige head dissapated quickly on my bottle. Has a sweet malt aroma that reminds me of butter rum flavored candy. The flavor is very sweet and rather complex. Mostly it’s a rich, buttery, caramel candy sort of flavor that comes through for me, and a bit of something resembling maple too. Finishes with an alcohol bite and some smokiness. Has a very full mouthfeel.

Courtesy of sebletitje. Pours bright amber with thin off white head. The aroma is malts and dark fruitiness with a background of booze. The taste is smooth and rich with chewy rich malts mixing with pears, prunes, ripe cherries and dates. It moves into a bit of earthiness as the finish draws closer. Very nice superposition of flavors.

8/13/2009: Silver City Fat Scotch Ale... Aroma: Orangy dark carmel, salty backend. Appearance: Beautiful deep ruby color, mostly transparent. Flavor: Sweet sugary caramel, hints of orange; not really much else. Palate: Medium-light, thin and a bit watery! Overall: OK to decent, but nothing to write home about; a bit disappointing overall.

22 fl. oz. bottle (Alc. 9% by Vol.) from bitbucket via trade. Thanks Bob! Rating #88 or less for this beer.

Botle courtesy of Denise in Tacoma; thank you! Pours a beautiful dark brick red with a thin tan head. Suprising aroma of Bananas Foster on the nose. Deliciuos caramel and brown sugar sweetness with a nice peat-smoke backbone and slight alcohol. Very creamy mouthfeel. A decadent Scotch ale to be sure!
