What Our Panel Thought
Aroma: “Cherry and banana esters, roast malts, fruit loops, piney hops. I can almost taste the lactose. Maybe a hint of marshmallow. Fruity, nice chocolate malt with a touch of vanilla. Light roast in the background.”
Flavor: “Rich and smooth mouthfeel until the finish, which is fairly acidic and sharp. The cherry and raspberry esters play nicely with the roast and chocolate.”
Overall: “A fairly complex fruity aroma tinged with roast leads to burnt malts and hops bitterness.”
What the Brewers Say
“Roasty. Dark Chocolate. Smooth. A variety of roasted grains (pale chocolate, roast barley, and dehusked roasted malt) combine to produce a complex and smooth roasted flavor. Having notes of dark chocolate and coffee, Fat Pug Milk Stout is rounded out by sweetness and body provided by lactose and flaked oats.”
