Stoudts Barrel Aged Fat Dog Stout

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

Bottle shared at the Columbus Tasting V: Dark brown-black pour with a tan head. Aroma of bourbon, vanilla, caramel, and a bit of chocolate. Flavor held some dark fruit, bourbon elements, and some light chocolate. Decent body, bittersweet finish.

Bottle thanks to hopdog, sampled on 2/3/07: Pours an opaque black with a large, airy tan head with nice wispy lacing. Aroma of mocha dark malts with a touch of oatmeal and oak. Body starts fairly foamy in the mouth with a good amount of sweet caramel malt and a drier, oaky slightly peaty whisky finish. A fairly nice BA imperial stout.

Bottle courtesy of hopdog. Pours black with a huge dark brown head, creamy, and refuses with all its might to diminish, excellent lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (molasses, chocolate, toasted), average hops (flowers), average yeast (leather) with notes of prune, wood and tar. Full bodied, alcoholic texture, average carbonation and a bitter finish. Average duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness; toasted and roasted malt flavor, chocolate, slight creaminess.

Bottle shared with Odeed from Hopdog; Nose of bourbon, coffee, chocolate; opaque black with a big, nice lacing tan head; flavor of oats, chocolate, bourbon (much less than in the nose, and nice oak woodiness.

(MANY THANKS TO HOPDOG FOR SENDING ME THIS!!)beautiful black body with a thick light borwn head that leaves nice webbing as it sits.aroma is full of whiskey,oak and vanilla.its then followed up by some oatmeal,chocolate chip cookies,and chocolate.flavor is a rush of whiskey,vanilla,and oak just as the aroma was.as the beer warms some of the other characteristics come out such as the chocolate etc.mouthfeel is full but a little fizzy.this is yet another really nice barrel aged impy stout.

Thick, semi-rocky, slowly cascading and well retained tan head. thick lacing left behind, odd for a B/A stout. Opaque black body. Earthy barrel components blend with mossy notes in the fore of the aroma. Smoke, roasted malt, and chocolate pervade. The alcohol notes resemble southern American corn whisky more than bourbon. while the bourbon component in the flavor is very big, it’s balanced by choco-cherry flavors and hints of oak, heavily roasted malt and dark dried fruits. the looming fruit found in the standard version is almost completely unnoticeable. Finishes like a bittersweet chocolate mousse cake. Palate is unremarkable. I’m dissapointed with this outing.

Columbus tasting 5. Alcohol aroma with some roasted malt. Black body with a nice tan head. Medium to full palate. Sweet chocolate flavors mix with bourbon and vanilla.

Shared at CT V. Poured black with a brown head. Had a circle of brown head on it that lasted the entire time.Flavor was bourbon, chocolate, and some roastiness. Flavor was sweet but still pretty good.
