Commercial Description:
Served in February on Fat Tuesday: For centuries scotch whiskey makers understood the invaluable, smooth, rich character extended aging in oak barrels provided their products. A soft oaken nose and a mellow woodiness on the pallet are an integral element to any beautifully crafted wine or whiskey. So what happens when Silver City brewers take a world class beer like Fat Bastard Scotch Ale and age it for over 6 months on American white oak? A completely unique and wonderful beer emerges. The slight peaty, intensely malty scotch ale and the complex vanilla character of the oak meld seamlessly over time to create, what we think is, an exceptionally satisfying beer. 9.2 % ABV 2004 Winner-Peoples Choice Award Washington Cask Ale Festival 2006 Bronze Medal - North American Beer Festival

On tap at Naked City. Pours reddish brown with a frothy off-white head. Malty nose with some oak and cinnamon. Very tasty. Lots of vanilla and malt, sweet and a little nutty. Would never guess this is 9.2% abv. So thick and creamy it lingers like a milkshake. Excellent way to end the night.

Deep copper mahogany tone with a mild head. Oaky, vanilla, bourbon robustness makes this a nice desert brew. Share with a friend because this one is special.

Bottle from Uber Tavern. Body is a nice dark amber with brown and a nice off white head. Aroma is very malty, with a light hint of alcohol, a slight nuttiness, and earthy. Taste is vanilla, oak, malt, alcohol, with light caramel. One of the better oak aged beers. Bravo!

on tap at Naked City Anniversary Party last night. Real surprised, complex flavors, super interesting. Boozy, yet sweet with caramel.

Oh my, pitch and sparklinh and dense aqeous (as opposed to particulate) body, tea and cola flavors meld with the wood, an herby clean cool spearmint element to it as well. Delicious. Softened but kept safe from oxidation and obvious destruction. Very pretty Thanks André!

Bomber from Mr. Ben suzy greenburg. Thanks dude, shared with my girlfriend and dalekliz. Pours deep brown almost black with a tan ring. Nose is sweet and malty and slightly oaky. Taste is sweet and rich with some big malt and a touch of vanilla. There is some thinness here as well but overall I find this to be a quite tasty scotch ale.
