Commercial Description:
This unique ale merges the smooth and complex richness of an Oatmeal Stout with the assertive hoppiness of Imperial Stout. Fat Dog has an inviting silky-black color, a prominent roasted malt character, and a chocolatey, coffee-like finish.

This is a tasty beer. Full oatmeal taste with a full true palate. Taste is roasted with slight mocha overtones. Aroma is crisp with a bit of hop, but not overwhelming. Good. No, very good.

Pours out black with a huge brown head. Smells of chocolate, coffee, roasted malts, sweet candy and a little bit of hops. Taste is refreshing (?) for an Imperial Stout. Almost able to drink this in large quantities...except I only have 1 bottle. Very nice, perhaps you could say this is an imperial stout for the summer days. Id buy this again if I saw it, and if it was locally around I would probably drink more of this than would be healthy for my body.

Bottle. Pours black with a huge brown head. Faint aroma of molasses and light roast coffee. Initial flavor is sweet and dark chocolaty. The finish has some hop bitterness, along with some merlot and roasty flavors. A tad amount of alcohol detected as it goes. Down. Pretty solid, but not memorable enough that I would seek out again.

Pours black into a snifter. Mocha colored micro head quickly subsides leaving no lacing. Dark espresso and chocolate notes. Smooth and creamy with upfront chocolate with a lasting bitter chocolate finish.

Pours like a coke. Not a whole lotta head but a nice aroma - alcohol, winey. More carbonation than I expected. Not an overly creamy stout - rather thin. I thought the flavor was delicious - traditional stout flavoring. I enjoyed it but there are so many good stouts out there - probably not a repeat purchase.

Bottled on Feb 22 2006. Pours pretty much black with a small-moderate brown head. Aroma of coffee and raosted malts, some bitter chocolate and oats in the background. Flavor is coffee and chocolate up front, some acidity and a slightly bitter chalky roasted malt finish. Alcohol is discernible. A little thin for an imperial stout. Low carbonation. Not the best imperial I’ve had, but not bad either.

Pours dark black with some light brown head. Aroma is slightly roasted chocolate, but nothing too noticeable. Flavor does have some noticeable oatmeal to it, some chocolate, and a not so great acidity. I would not have guessed it was 9% abv. Pretty light in body for a big stout. Nothing too great, though.

Very dark color with nice lacing. Taste like chocolatey coffee. Bittery aftertaste but drink a few and you don’t notice.
