Commercial Description:
Fat Bear Stout is carefully crafted using traditional European stout recipes. The full bodied brew is characterized by smooth roasty flavors and malty aromas from brown, roasted and two row malts. The combinations of pure water from the ancient springs of Saratoga, spiced with English Target and American Cascade hops varieties, makes Fat Bear a complex yet easy drinking stout.

This rating based on a well-aged bottle. I really liked the way that this one smelled -- very, very mellow chocolate while still highlighting the dark malts. Exceptionally smooth drinking, striking a good balance in bittering between the hops and the dark roasted malts. Appearance gets a minor ding for having no head at all, but the label and brew appearance were right on. Palate is medium-bodied, with just the right bitterness and pH. Well done.

Almost black. Nice roasty/caramelly nose. Carbonation is perfect, nice body, malts are outstanding and complex with an memorable hoppy/dry finish. A little thin in body is whereI have to deduct points.

A very smooth malty stout, with lots of caramel roastedness. Pours a deep rich brown color with a nice frothy tan head. Nice and nutty, balanced and very smooth.

Huge head. Dark brown appearance. Roasted malt aroma with hints of fruit. Smooth malty taste and finish.

Thanks to goldtwins for this one. Pours dark brown/ruby with a huge tan head. Not much lacing, but the head stayed around forever. Aroma of malt, chocoff, cabernet, and fruit. The taste showed roasty malt, with fruitiness, some nuttiness, and some finishing kriekiness. Palate was lighter than most stouts. This one had some Newcastle brown alishness to it, and was nicely complex. Quaffable.
