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-trade w/after4ever. Poured a dark ruby red color w/almost no head. Sweet, roasted, malty aroma. Sweet, caramel, malty, toffee, honey roasted, flavor. Even a little bit of a tangy, mustard flavor w/some smokey peat. Reminded me somewhat of a Nut Brown or Honey Brown Ale. Very nice brew, you do get a little kick from the alcohol.

On tap at the brewery, and in a grouler from the brewery. This one is a fine ale. Held up to the light, the color is brown diamond. Big tastey mouthfeel, with the taste of caramel honey malt. This is a strong scotch ale, but the aftertaste is smooth, and sweet. A regular friday night brew for me. Very good.

Best Scotch Ale from my recent Seattle trip, sampled both on tap at the brewpub and from one of the bottles I brought home. Sweet caramal malt, pours with a light brown creamy head. Very smooth finish with a touch of alcohol.

Very dark with little head. Aromas of raisiny malt greet the nose. Wonderful palate - strong rough acidity finsihing off with a smoky aftertaste.

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.
