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.

Poured from bottle. Aroma of wood, choco, coffee, herbs. Faint head lingers. Nice blend of flavors, nut, wood, and herbs are the dominant flavors, with a hint of cocoa. Finished well. Good stuff.

There’s some dark brown to the blackness. Rich, thick head. Some fudge and some slight nail polish phenols in the aroma. Rich milk chocolate body with more nail polish but it just gets annihilated by rich, oaty, roasty goodness.

Bottle thanks to Thaichile. Pours a dark black hue with a large brown head. The aroma is full of rich chocolates, coffee, oatmeal, and light hops. The flavor is very nice; a robust roasted malt which is well matched by the strong oatmeal and chocolate flavors. A medium and creamy mouthfeel. A bit of earthy and not very aggressive in a nice way. The alcohol is very subdued. Very nice.

Poured a dark dark brown with a tan head. Aroma was really roasted with a nice coffee flavor. Flavor was fairly bitter, not hoppy bitter but bitter chocolate and burnt coffee. Pretty good stuff.

12 oz bottle. Pours brown into black with a nice tan head. Nose was roast malt and espresso with a touch of alcohol. Taste was of roast malt and coffee with oat to balance. Mouthfeel was medium and dry and a tad chalky. Pretty good.

Blackish pour, nice tan head. Roast malt aroma, some grass, hop/pine. Fairly lively mouthfeel. Roast malts and a definete oat tone. Some chocolate, more coffee. Finish a little bitter. Lingers pretty well. Not earth shattering, but very good. Deserving of an average rating right about where it’s at.
