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.

Looks dark in the glass, but not as opaque as I like my stouts. Tan head that doesn’t really linger. Tastes toasty with some espresso flavor. Hops are present without overpowering the malts.

A very nice surprise. Picked this up at the store and liked the fact that it was an oatmeal stout. Definite coffee and chocolate aroma with an overtone of alcohol. It is quite thick, yet the carbonation persists through the thickness. This adversely affects some of the flavor of big brews like this one, although nothing to grip about too much. The finish is much like the aroma, coffee and chocolate up front, alcohol on the back.

Bottle. Scent of oats. Deep black color with a nice tan head. Slight chocolate taste with a strong oatmeal after taste. Not as think as some other Imperials, but definitely a solid brew.

On Tap at Julios Spring Beer Festival. Light aroma of dark chocolate and molasses. Pour of deep dark black, with a ruby glint and a head of tan. Flavor of long lasting chocolate wafers and a little bit of smoked salt. It has some decent body, but to me lacks a lot of character. I didn’t know this was an Imperial Stout when I had it. Seems a little thin. But, in the back there’s noticable alcohol that perks things up. Possible re-rate.

Had the required colr and the certain amount of thickness. A very standard type true to style and with a sweetness that was not overpowering.
