Otto, pictured in the silhouette on the front of the label, is certainly a fat pug. But, being the runt of the litter, Otto is also a stout pug…measuring in at a cool 1’1”. Brewed in Otto’s honor, Fat Pug Milk Stout is a full flavored (fat) stout that remains extremely drinkable. Otto the fat pug can be seen from time-to-time checking in on things at Mercenary, making sure his namesake beer is brewed right.

16 oz. can from Beerhead, dated 5/31/22. Light chocolatey smell. Opaque brown to black body, under a tan head. Fine roasty malts on the palate. Roast is tempered by the lactose. Not hard to enjoy. A bit of a coffee aftertaste. Clearly the base for Maplewood's many variations: barrel-aged, imperial, and pastry versions.

16oz can pours a translucent dark brown, khaki edges, ring of beige head. Nose is malty, bread, carob, brown sugar, molasses, digestive cookie. Flavor is dark bread, off brand Oreo, very earthy, soil, some washed out coffee. Dry finish. Full bodied.

16oz can brewed at Central State. In a world of wacky ass lactose beer, it is kind of nice and refreshing to see a classic Milk Stout. Roasty, rich, big chocolate, accentuated by the sweet vanilla sugary tones of the lactose. Even though I think contract brewing is kind of cheesy, Central State seems pretty competent. Really good.
