Don Spencer, brewmaster for Silver City Brewery, had this to say about this year’s release “Le Fat is quite the labor of love for me and the brew team. There are so many components, steps and time that go into the process of creating Le Fat.” Don added “To see Le Fat in it’s beautiful bottle prepared for presentation after the long development process is personally very exciting. We can’t wait to share this unique creation with our fans!”

Le Fat 2014 Description
Time is transformative. Everyday all things change in minute and imperceptible ways. The journey is long and it begins with a single step until at long last we reach our ultimate destination.
Le Fat, is a scotch ale that is a scotch ale no more. Leaving its Scottish roots long behind in the summer of 2010, the ale adventured out to find its own way. Belgian influences from a host of micro-organisms have soured this once sweet behemoth. Hints of fig, plum and tart cherries occur naturally; the result of its unique fermentation.
Over time, Le Fat has softened and mellowed while gaining refinement and character through extended aging in Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet barrels.
Its journey is now complete.
9.9% ABV
