Keeping with
the local theme, today we try the Fat Lady Stout. This comes in at 4.6% and is
500ml and in bottle-conditioned form. It poured a healthy looking dark-almost
black-brown with good carbonation and a neat beige head that slowly evaporated.
The aroma
was slightly roasted with hints of dark chocolate and molasses. The taste was
smoother than the aroma had led me to expect. The mouthfeel was more velvet in
nature with lactic tones to take the edge off the bitterness.
This was
more of a Milk Stout to me whilst I was probably gearing myself up for a dry
one. That’s not a complaint as the roast barley was nicely matched by the sweetness
to give an easy drinking experience.
