Whiskey Barrel Aged Mole Fat Dog Stout from Stouts. Purchased at the brewery a few years ago for an unknown price for a 25.87 oz cork and cage bottle. In reefer at store, stored at 40 degrees at home. Reviewed 18/09/22. Note that I use DD/MM/YY protocol.
Undated bottle. A loud “Pop” as the cork was pulled. Served at 52.3 degrees in a hand washed and dried Jester King Snifter. Final temperature 56.4 degrees.
Appearance – 3.75
First pour – Deep Amber (SRM15), clear.
Body – Amber Brown (SRM 18), opaque. Under direct light, same. When rear-lite, looks like root beer and barely translucent.
Head – Large (Four cm, aggressive center pour), camel, high density with a few rocks, diminishing to a three mm crown and complete thin cap.
Lacing – Poor. A few drag marks.
Aroma – 3.5 – Weak ginger and cinnamon. No hops, no malt, no yeast, no whiskey, no barrel.
Flavor – 3.5 – Distinct chili burn, not quite unpleasant No yeast, no malt, no hops. No ethanol (ABV not marked on label – but Fat Dog and variants usually 8-9%) aroma or taste. Gastric warming occurs. No dimethylsulfide or diacetyl.
Palate – 3.75 – Medium, short of creamy, soft, carbonation.
Final impression and summation: 3.5 (After deducting 0.25 point for undated container). Well. This is at least three years old and the chilis have taken over to the point I’d consider this a chili beer rather than an oatmeal stout, although a trace of the oatmeal silkiness remains. While the ginger root and cinnamon stick make a light contribution to the aroma, the raisin, coffee, whiskey, barrel, cocoa, and even stoutness are lost in the peppers. That doesn’t mean it isn’t good – just don’t expect a stout.
