Stoudts Barrel Aged Fat Dog Stout

Brewed by Stoudts Brewing Co.
Style: Imperial Stout
Adamstown, Pennsylvania USA

75 cL bottle, courtesy of eyedrinkale. Pours dark brown to black with a collapsing tan head. Aroma is smooth whisky and slight wooden to a dark malt and fruity base. Dry and distinct wooden whisky touch. Roasted malt flavoured and fruity dry into a lingering mild whisky finish.

Source:Sample from a 750 mL bottle at a Nashville tasting.
Glass:Taster.
Appearance:Poured a dark brown color with a small beige head.
Aroma:The aroma was pretty muted, with notes of bourbon, vanilla and licorice.
Flavor:Oats and licorice dominate, with a hint of vanilla and bourbon.
Palate: Medium/full body with mild carbonation.
Overall:This was the same watery mess as the regular. The carbonation was off and the body was too thin. The barrel aging was almost trasparent.

Thanks to hopsleeroy for sharing this beer! Pours black with light barely getting in. Short lived beige head. Smell is creamy vanilla, and bourbon. Taste is similar with chocolate fudge, but with a thin body and soft carbonation. Decent, but didn’t knock my socks off. In fact, my socks stayed on.

There’s a dog on the label so I’m already feelin’ positive. Dark roast, some laundry detergent too. Dark brown. Standard character, even keel all around. Didn’t think much of this beer, disappointed now that I see all of these high ratings.

Bottle Pours out a nice black topped with a small tan head. Aroma was of pit fruit, some sweet chocolate, and bourbon. Tast was of sweet malts and chcolate. The light bourbon once again. Tasty Thanks Jake

Another brew I have to thank Dim for. The bottle poured into a dogfish head snifter. It produced a two finger worth of tan head that settled to a thick lace. The body of the brew was black as night no light coming through at all. This brew smell fantastic bourbon, chocolate and coffee are some of the many aromas’. That is just a start; some dark fruit vanilla and a slight earthiness are also present The flavor is really mellow nice grain sweetness, chocolate, vanilla, coffee among others. The feel is great in the mouth with ample carbonation. The regular fat dog is a favorite of mine and this just takes those flavors to a whole new level Great drinkability I am enjoying every drop I might even shed a tear when it gone. It was truly a treat to have this one thanks again Dim

2008 Bottle - Thanks jake65 - Pours thin and black with a tan head...aroms is dark fruit, chocolate and slight barrel...flavour is similar, it has a char tang going on, I get more barrel in the nose and a bit thinner than most, but still a fun beer...

Bottle: Dark brown pour, near black. Large tan head. Nose is sweet with bourbon and faded hops. A little roasty and cocoa. Tastes malty with bourbon notes, roasty and chocolatey. Really mellow barrel notes, which I am appreciating more these days.
