Stoudts Barrel Aged Fat Dog Stout

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

Bottle, thanks to The_Epeeist. Pours dark brown, with a brown head. Aroma is chocolate, roasted malt, oak, with just a touch of whiskey and coffee. Flavor is roasted malt, chocolate, vanilla, bourbon, and coffee. Good beer, but would be better with more whiskey character.

25.9 oz bottle, cellared about a year. Dark brown with a spongy tan head. Nose of cocoa and molasses with faint coffee and whiskey. Milky body with sudsy carb. Taste is coffee, bittersweet chocolate and raisin. Whiskey grows with the finish.

Pours a deep dark brown almost black but not quite- thin foamy dusty head. Sweetish bourbon aroma, toasted malts, chocoalte and some light oxidation. Lots of oak and vanilla in the flavor with more chocolate and light coffee hints- moderately sweet. Wierd light body and perhaps a high carbonation accounts for this- but I prefer the bigger body of the original version.

A bottle recieved in Mystery swap 2.0 from Doclock I think! Thanks Jeff. Poured Black with quite a head, lots of carbonation. Abit of a burn on the first sip, mellows after abit. Some hints of vanilla, wood, but much less than expected, drinkable, I enjoyed it, but a little dissapointed.

On tap at Stoudts. Black with little tan head. A little bourbon taste to it. Some coffee, chocolate and malts evident. Not as thick as I thought it would be. Not the best, but very enjoyable.

765ml bottle from HimerMan - thanks! Kind of surprised by how lively the carbonation is from something that pours so thick and inky. The nose is big and boozy, as one might expect, but lacking the roast and heft of the regular Fat Dog. Indeed, once you get into the drink and it warms, there’s not much here that recalls the chewy pleasures of the main beer. As it is, it’s a tad thin for the style, but the bourbon and malts (with faint oak) do taste nice on a chilly night.

Bottle. Pours an opaque dark brown tih a light tan head. Sweet roast aroma. Flavor is slightly smokey, roasted malts. A touch bitter in the finish with a medium body and a touch of alcohol bite.

Tasted at Patron Saints Angel Share Release. Bottle from deftim13. Tried with deftim13, brewboy1, Captaincougar, and others. JohnC, miketd, and WeeHeavy were here earlier, but left by this time. A little roasty. Initial taste I thought alcohol was well hidden, but then noticed it’s presence after a while. Very dark color. Small, small bubble head. A litttle cardboard in the aroma. Nice aroma of some mild oxidation and some chocolate. Bottled on 4/20/06. Bottle number 175/500.
