Notes / Commercial Description:
First brewed in 2011, this Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter is jet black in color with a tan, rocky head, full body and creamy, luxurious mouthfeel. Its lightly sweet, malty flavor is accented by rich flavors of chocolate, coffee and peanut butter, and balanced by a subtle hop character and moderate 6.5% abv. Sweet Baby Jesus finishes smooth, dry, and roasty with lingering notes of chocolate and peanut butter so savory, you will exclaim its name!

Pours dark maroon black with a creamy tan foam head. Smells like peanut butter, rich chocolate, cereal grain, nutty caramel, toffee, with floral earthy herbal grassy pine. Tastes like dark chocolate, peanut butter, cereal grain, nutty caramel, toffee, with floral earthy herbal grassy pine. Feels thick, medium bodied, creamy and slick with moderate low carbonation.

Sweet Baby Jesus indeed when that peanut butter hits your nose. really pungent. Very mild sweet at first sip, come of the chocolate shows. Interesting transition from the initial tastes to a dry roast / bitter finish, which sticks around for quite while.

Tried this beer at the Roadhouse in Worthington across from the Ice Works. It poured an opaque dark with thick tan head that left some lace. The scent had hints of chocolate and peanut butter. The taste carried chocolate and peanut butter but was a touch acidic. The mouthfeel was medium in body with smooth carbonation. Overall it's it's decent.
