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.

Pours brown almost black with a thin head. Mostly chocolate aroma, same for the taste plus caramel and some roast on the finish.

Source:12 oz bottle purchased at Anderson’s in Toledo.
Glass:Krombacher snifter.
Appearance:Poured a black color that wasn’t quite opaque with a thin beige head.
Aroma:Funky vegetal aroma with notes of roasted malt and week old, stale coffee.
Flavor:Roasted malt, oatmeal and licorice.
Palate:Medium body with soft carbonation.
Overall:Way too thin to be a highly ranked imperial stout, and way too much licorice to be a stout that I enjoyed. I was highly disappointed by this offering, as I normally enjoy everything from Stoudts. This was extremely disappointing though.

Dark, opaque pour. Looks black, but is really dark brown/reddish when held to the light. Not much of a head on my pour – what’s there is tan-colored. Tastes delicious. First flavor that comes through is roasty. Strong roasted flavors, background taste of bitter chocolate, maybe a little bit of coffee, but mostly roasted malts. Very good beer – I recommend it.

Jet black, tan head, fresh brewed coffee aroma. Richly thick and syrupy, yet finishes clean with a smoky note. Densely roasted grain.

12 oz. bottle from Grape & Gourmet. Black pour with a thick and creamy tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, oatmeal, and a hint of licorice. Tastes of dark chocolate, licorice, and a slightly noticable coffee finish. Rich and creamy texture. A very good imperial stout.

Butter’s 6th Cellar Drunkfest Reduction. Black in color but lightens out with some red on the edes. Nose of mocha oatmeal. Not heavy handed in its coffee characteristics. Starts off very easy....picks up roastiness and dark flavors towards the finish. Nice effort

Bottle shared at the 6th Cellar Reduction. Very dark brown pour with faint minimal ring of very light tan head. Nose of oats and chocolate, with some alcohol. Milk chocolate flavor is great roasty and faint coffee. Medium silky body.
