Fat Heads Sorcerer

Cleveland and Pittsburgh . . . What a long colorful history these two cities have between them . . .

It would seem that we have a peace offering of sorts in our midst, Fat Heads Brewery and Saloon located in North Olmsted, Ohio. It was only a matter of time before Fat Heads Saloon in Pittsburgh's South Side decided that pouring the great beers of the world was no longer enough, and have begun to brew beer also!

Take a great brand like Fat Heads, pair it with a fantastic brewer like Matt Cole, and you have yourself a winning recipe!

The first offering available in the local Pittsburgh area, Fat Heads Sorcerer.

Fat Heads Sorcerer, 9% ABV:

The beer is described as a Belgian-styled Dark Ale. The color is brown with an amber hue. Nice, sturdy, bone white head that holds steady and laces very well. Ripe fruit and heavy malt in the nose. Upon entry, you are hit with big malt, ripe fruit, and hints of fig. The beer coats the mouth nicely, then dissipates ever so slowly . . . Yummmm. This beer cleans up well as it finishes . . . Leaving a wonderful, malty, Belgian Candy Sugar sweetness that pleases, does not offend, and begs you to take another swig. Heat? None found here. This beer is clean and soft, which is key when dealing with this style of beer.

After quaffing Sorcerer, I am only more curious of what Brewer Matt Cole has to offer us. If Sorcerer is any indication, we should be very excited about the future!
