3rd Anniversary Peanut Butter Chocolate Cream Porter
Track 7 Brewing Co.

Tasting at Dick's.
Brown body with a small beige cap. Mild peanut butter character. Earthy, nutty, peanuts. Thin to medium body with a mild burn in the finish. Eh...

 

 

Track Seven's 3rd Anniversary Peanut Butter Chocolate Cream Porter, brewed with Tcho cacao nibs. 7.3% ABV.

A: About a finger of malt powder-colored head. Black in the glass, with a deep red inner glow against the light. Dark, honeyed-brown in the dimple. Very little lacing. Some sheeting.

S: Definite peanut butter cream aroma! Off-dry cocoa cereal. Reminds me of Reese's Puffs cereal. A lot, actually! Faint coffee note. Tiny bit of char. Definitely hitting the childhood vibe!

T/MF: Slightly creamy mouthfeel. Light peanut butter note. Dry, bitter chocolate. Some lighter brewed coffee notes. Fairly subtle flavors, all around, compared to the smell.

I like it! A great cap to an evening of drinking.

Poured from a 22 oz. bottle, into a Belgian tulip glass.

Thanks to Rado for sharing this one at Retsinis' tasting.

Pours a clear dark brown with a foamy khaki head that settles to wisps of film on top of the beer. Thin streaks of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of dark roasted malt, cocoa powder, and toasted nut aromas. Taste is much the same with cocoa powder, toasted nut, and char flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of roast bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer that with straightforward but solid cocoa and peanut aspects all around.

Serving type: bottle.

Thanks Tony!

Poured a very dark brown, almost black color with 2-to-3 fingers of dark, khaki tan rocky head. Below average spotty lacing on the sides of the glass. Average retention. (Sight - 3.75)

Smelled deep, dark roasty malts, mainly dark chocolate, chocolate peanut butter, chocolate milk, chocolate syrup, roasted nuts, toffee, caramel, bitter coffee beans, faint smoky fire and cocoa nibs late. (Smell - 3.75)

First thought on the taste was smoky. Got dark chocolate, bitter coffee malts, chocolate peanut butter, cocoa nibs, light smoky fire, toffee, Hershey’s chocolate syrup, caramel, roasted mixed nuts, fudge, creamy peanut butter and very faint booziness late. Really late for 7.3 pct. ABV. (Taste - 3.50)

Full body. Creamy-to-sticky texture. Lively carbonation. Abrupt, somewhat bitter finish. Still can’t believe this is 7.3 pct. ABV. (Feel - 3.50)

Had high hopes for this one, but was pretty disappointed. Not enough peanut butter and the balance overall seemed off. Not a fan. (Overall - 3.50)

Looks like a dark beer. Inviting aromas of peanut butter, cocoa, and coffee. Disgustingly salty mouth however -- I think I like what’s trying to poke through, but they really need to tone down the peanuts, use a more mellow variety, and/or amp up the sweetness to balance them out. The feel is nice and creamy. I really like what they were trying to do here, but it needs a bit more fine tuning.
