Stepping On Toes
Westbrook Brewing Co.

 

 

Received in a trade and shared with JLindros.

A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a nice dark brown almost black with a thin mocha head that fades to leave light wisps, lovely legs, very oily.

S - Big aromas of sweeter bananas and tons of peanuts. As it warms the peanuts become even more and more assertive. No coconut, no vanilla, no cinnamon.

T - Taste is similar to the nose with tons of banana and peanut butter. Like a peanut butter cup banana milkshake. Big coconut, nice vanilla. Really thick and dense.

M - Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, smooth, creamy, nice almost oats, flashes of booze.

O - Overall this was a very enjoyable stout, huge banana and nuttiness, just wish the rest lived up to how well those two aromas and flavours delivered.

POurs a smaller fizzy dark head that fades quickly, low retention, pitch black beer, thick as oil with fairly long legs

Nose brings loads of peanuts and banana, some general nutty notes and some macadamia nuts, loads of nuts, turning to almost peanutbutter, no cinnamon, no coconut, hint of vanilla, very mild cocoa

Taste more loads of peanutbutter and banana, some dark chocolate as well, like a candy I made as a kid, banana covered in peanuts and chocolate, resee's peanutbutter cup with banana, mild candied macadamia nut, hint of cinnamon and coconut, fair amount of candy bar, some alcohol but not heavy, fair bitterness, rich dark malt and roast

Mouth is fuller bod, rich creamy thick, medium-heavy carb, fair alcohol warmth

Overall decent, loads of nuts and banana, not much else on the nose, although the taste had some limited notes
