Maplewood Fat Pug (pack of 4) (5.9%)

An oatmeal milk stout brewed by Maplewood Brewery & Distillery in Chicago, Illinois, at 5.9% ABV. This four-pack beer is built on a grain bill of pale malt, pale chocolate malt, roasted barley, dehusked Carafa malt, Munich malt, dark crystal malt and flaked oats, hopped with Warrior and Northern Brewer. Flaked oats give a silky body, while lactose provides residual sweetness. It won Gold at the 2022 Great American Beer Festival and Bronze in 2017. The nose shows dark chocolate, roasted coffee, caramel, dried dark fruit and creaminess. The palate has bittersweet chocolate, espresso, caramel, raisins, plums and lactose sweetness. The finish is medium, velvety and oily, with burnt toast, cocoa and cream.
