COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Fat (Bastard) Scotch Ale fermented with Belgian yeast and then aged extensively in Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet wine barrels.

Brewery press release:

A scotch ale that is a scotch ale no more. Leaving its Scottish roots long behind in the summer of 2010, the ale adventured out to find its own way. Belgian influences from a host of micro-organisms have soured this once sweet behemoth.

Hints of fig, plum and tart cherries occur naturally; the result of its unique fermentation. Over time, Le Fat has softened and mellowed while gaining refinement and character through extended aging in Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet barrels.

Released on Friday May 25th, 2012.

Bottle… This beer rocks!… Clear dirty-orange ale with a small, fizzy, white head that’s gone in a flash. The nose is a malty, earthy swirl of caramel, wood, tree nuts and funk. Full-bodied with jazzy carbonation. The flavor provides a good measure of lactic acidity, moderate praline sweetness and light bitterness. Tangy-sweet finish - a touch more tangy than sweet. Thanks to newcigarz for sharing this world class oddity with the south Florida crew!

Brown, tea-like appearance. Cherry and oak influence on the nose. Medium bodied with healthy tension between the Belgian yeast and the scotch ale makes this completely unique. Some plum and fig kick in on the back of the palate and into the finish.

750ml from Chuck’s. I dunno. I guess I’m kind of cheesed at the fact it is $22.59 for a bottle. No traces of the scotch ale present, yet also not quite as tart as I’d like. The 10%ABV packs a wallop, so that’s nice. Reminds me of red wine more than anything else.
