Maplewood Brewing Company Fat Pug
What the brewers say
“Welcoming notes of dark chocolate and coffee, complex yet mellow flavor.”
What our panel thought
“Smooth, light chocolate aroma with no esters. Pleasant low oatmeal notes add complexity. Smooth body with well-balanced bitterness and medium sweetness that lingers. Carbonation is a touch high but clears the palate. Medium chocolate and low roast with smooth oatmeal notes.”
What our editors thought
“Leather, crushed Oreo wafer, and a bit of sweet pipe tobacco in the nose. Light smoke and roast notes in the sip with a touch of plum. Strong carbonation adds a pointed edge to the coffee notes.”
