On-tap at Peg's barrel day on 3/8/13. Served in a plastic cup.

A- Pours black, very thick looking, produces a thin tan head that recedes to a wisp.

S- Loads of vanilla, dark chocolate, cake, booze. The vanilla aroma is huge and really great.

T- Just as good as the aroma. Loads of molten chocolate, cake, some roastiness, as well as a massive vanilla and coconut. Nice booze and subtle oak flavors.

M- Full-bodied, thick, rich and creamy, has a considerable boozy warmth.

O- A great variation on RareR. We had this alongside Rare Vanilla, and this was easily the winner. Along with Fast Breaker, this was probably the best Rare/RareR variant of the day. Very tasty stuff.

The boring ass stupid regular rarer is better, the hazelnut version is on another planet though. This is just like VR, with a similar amount of vanilla just a touch thinner.

Reviewing Nooner Batch 5, a rum barrel aged milk stout from Peg's Cantina & Brewpub out of Gulfport, Florida.

Score: 96

March 2014 vintage bottle served in a footed De Garde tulip and enjoyed on 06/05/14.

Appearance: Jet black in color, totally opaque. Pours about a finger of khaki head that settles to a thin layer. Great lacing and retention. 5/5

Smell: Sweet chocolate, burnt brown sugar, woody vanilla, molasses, and oak. A touch of dark fruit and a little alcohol heat. Excellent mix. 4.75/5

Taste: Woody vanilla, burnt chocolate, dark chocolate, oak, dates, and a little wine-reminisce acidity towards the finish. Finishes with oak and chocolate and a kiss of residual vanilla. More oak as the beer warms. 4.25/5

Mouthfeel: Full-medium bodied, appropriate carbonation. Creamy mouthfeel with a lightly dry finish. Good balance. 4.5/5

Overall: Doug makes some excellent stouts, and this brew is a prime example of his talent (if you ever get the chance to try Whiskey Hazelnut DDT, you run to the tap line). Fresh on the tap line, I felt as though there was a bit more vanilla and a little less acidity, but this growler has held up marvelously. Personally, I preferred my pour on the colder side because it masked the oak character a bit more without muting the other flavors. Seek this one out with delicious confidence.

Cost: $20 for a 500 ml growler.
