Peanut Butter Milk Stout
Triton Brewing Company

 

 

 

Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a dark brown close to black color with a semi-fluffy eggshell white foamy head that slid off at a fair pace. Some speckled lace ran around the glass fairly nice.
The aroma had a wonderful blend of roasted peanuts to a rolling sweet milk to dark chocolate character. As it warmed, the peanuts came across more like peanut butter and seemed to meddle with the sweet level pretty damn nice and not burdensome at all.
The flavor was nicely balanced roasty milk chocolate to dark chocolate nib-like qualities melding into the peanut butter sweet and nuttiness. Light milk chocolate roastiness to peanut butter-esque aftertaste.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt good. ABV felt on par. Finish was semi-sweet with a strolling roasty grip riding along my tongue in a really nice smooth way.
Overall, as a milk/sweet stout it not only works, but the peanut butter in this balanced it way more than the usual ones of this style - you know those ones that tend to be cloyingly sweet. This one has none of that. Would I want this again? Better question is: does a baby want milk? Damn skippy I want this again.

A pint can with a best by date of 01/11/18 poured in a 12oz. sniffer.

Look- Pours a thin dark brown producing a small finger of creamy tan foam. It settles very slowly leaving heavy lacing behind.

Smell- Bakers chocolate, crushed peanuts, leather and brown sugar.

Taste- Chocolate cake, peanut butter, roasted malt and milk sugar.

Feel- Creamy smooth but rather thin for the style.

Overall- A flavorful easy drinking milk stout that tastes like a liquid Reese's peanut butter cup. I wish it was a little thicker in the feel department. Other than that it was a simple but fun beer.
