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)

A decent scotch ale. Much maltier than bitter with a sweet alcoholic background.

Bottle Pours a clear, very dark redish brown with a small light tan head. Lacing is soptty. Woody, and fruity aroma. Raisons, pitted fruit, licorice. Flavor is similar, a bit vinous, lightly smokey, a bit sweet and of dark brown sugar, and plums. Some alcohol nets as well, but does not detract Thin but slick feel and fairly lively carbonation.

Cask Dark brown; small brownish head. Licorice, dark malts, rather bready & hints of Belgian yeast; Sweet; little bitterness, rounded malt (dark) flavours, chocolate and green wood. Well-bodied, roasted but not smokey. Strange "Scottish" but pleasing brew.
Bottled version, thanks to DGS No idea I had had it, but nice comparison. Nose suggests moderate sweetness, bready, dark candi sugar. Dry, near piney aroma. Taste is more bitterish, with again piney flavours, very dry, near wry. Less liquoriceflavour. . Well bodied. Nice brew, botttled too. Why the Bastard fell, probably Stone can tell?

Another bomber from Andre. Bananas and baby food are in the nose. Another crap beer from Silver City. Flavors. are all malted and buttery. Total swill.

Bottled. Clear nut brown. Appley toffee aroma. Sweet and mellow with medium body and sticky mouthfeel. Low bitterness. Warming perhaps, but it’s too cloying.

Bottle @ OMH-tasting
Malty, sweet, balanced. Light chocolate touch. Clean sweetness and slightly fruity aftertaste. UK-style.

Re rate: Smooth mix of smokey, caramel malts and light sweetness. Big aroma and just a nice drinking beer all around. No hot alcohol, but could still smooth out a bit with time. Truly a fantastic beer.

GABF 2005 (I poured this one as a volunteer). Pour is dark brown with off white head. Aroma of malt and sweet sugars, mild hop. Flavor of sweet maltiness, caramel, touch of smoke on palate. Decent scotch ale.
