New Jersey Beer Co. "Peanut Butter & Chocolate Porter"
16 fl. oz. can coded "RJ THE BABY". Sampled on 21 February 2022
$5.49 @ Total Wine & More, Cherry Hill, NJ
Notes via stream of consciousness: The label reads "MALT BEVERAGE WITH NATURAL FLAVORS". When held to the light the body is an opaque black except for the tiniest sliver of dark mahogany brown at the base. The head is a finger's width of creamy tan foam. In the nose there's definitely peanut butter, and if you can get past that you'll find the chocolate and coffee as well. I'm not finding anything else so let's taste it... and it's pretty much the same. It's sweet upfront, and there's more chocolate than the aroma lets on. It's nutty, and I almost feel stupid saying that, but I feel it's more than just a peanut flavor. Personally, I thought of almonds and hazelnuts, and then coffee beans. Of course coffee beans aren't nuts, they're a seed, BUT they're quite often very nutty. It has a nutty coffee flavor to it. There's a very, very light fruitiness to it as well, and now I'm getting some golden caramel. The head dropped rather quickly and now I've got an average collar left behind but no lacing whatsoever. I checked the can and the label says that they've actually added peanut butter and cacoa nibs post fermentation, so that explains that as the oils kill the head. Why isn't that on the front of the label alongside the "natural flavors" though? The bitterness is moderate, and although it's sweet it somehow finishes mostly dry. It's an interesting ride, which I did not expect given the aroma. There's peanut butter, then chocolate, nuts, a touch of fruitiness, caramel, and finally coffee which lingers in the finish. It's medium bodied and smooth with just a gentle caress from the moderate carbonation. So what to say about this? Well, I was wrong when I said that the flavor was like the aroma as it turned out to be much more complex. I personally like it as it is, although I'm only a little more than halfway through it and it is starting to build up on me a bit. I'm also kind of just done with it though. For me, one would be the limit. I could certainly see using it as a dessert beer though, either on its own or as an ingredient, or even an evening sipper while you read before bed. Nicely done.
