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)

(Draught) Sampled at the Great Canadian Beer Festival 2007 in Victoria on September 7th, 2007. Good nose of scotch. Mild malt and a wood base. Above average.

22oz bottles acquired in trade with Larry Pitonka. Tasted side by side with the Barrel Aged version so notes will reflect the side by side tasting. Both versions poured a medium mahogany with a small sized off white head. The BA version was cloudy with the regular version being clear. They both had an earthy, peaty and caramel aroma (stronger in the BA) with the BA also possesing the expected aromas of vanilla, wood, and also a smokiness. The overall aromas of the regular were on the softer and subtle side. They both shared tastes of nuts, caramel, and earthiness. The BA also had wood, vanilla, smoke, and citrus. Overall the BA was more complex and enjoyable.

Poured a lightly hay, reddish brown color with a thin, light tan head that left spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel, peated malts, roast, and a bit of alcohol. Taste of more caramel malts, nuts, smoke, with citrus, and a bit of alcohol in the finish. Thin mouthfeel.

Thanks to hopdog. Pours a ruby red/brown with a medium light tan bubbly head that left some lacing. Aroma of dark fruits, toffee, caramel, lightly toasted malts and some vanilla. Flavor of caramel, sweet malts, brown sugar, light hop profile.

Draft, Uber Tavern. Brown with a nice off white head. Light caramel aroma, with light roasted malts. Taste is tabacco, caramel, smoke. Pretty good.

22. Pours deep ebony, not quite opaque--you can see little bits of the other sides of the glass though the odd garnet highlight. Headless, laceless, carbless; not a lot of bunting on the balcony with this one. Big malt sugar nose--plummy, date-like, figgish, sharp pitted fruit tang. Still body on the attack, faintest hint of carb. Tobacco and leather flavors complement the fruit notes on the mid-palate. Sticky, molasses-y finish. Nice enough. Curious about the Fat Woody now.
