Stoudt's Fat Dog Imperial Oatmeal Stout

This brew is black as night with a brownish-beige nougat head. Good lacing.

Offers a milk stout smell: strawberries, oatmeal, brown sugar & toasted raisin bread. I love it!

The taste is outstanding! Alcohol presence much like a heavy winter warmer. Toasted malts and, as a result, indistinguishable hops. A sweet-bitter finish. The alcohol makes it hard to distinguish much more, but there are sweet qualities very similar to an english style barleywine.

A good bite in the feel. A little bit of acidity; a tiny bit of aggression. Can't complain! This is a Class-A oatmeal stout - my first Imperial.
