16 oz can from Kevin, Odell Teku
Pours what seems a thinner but black stout liquid, with a tall beige head of 3 fingers, receding gradually to a broken puffy moss on top, with moderate glass destruction, slight lacing broken all the way down.
Aroma is of roast malts, faint chocolate shell, paint thinner, and very very slight vanilla. Maybe a slight psychological suggestion of Reese's Pieces but I don't think I'd be detecting it in the least if it wasn't painted on the can.
Flavor is roasted malt, slight coffee, tannic cabernet, tobacco paper, and slight vanilla or caramel. It's not a terrible flavor but has nothing to do with the description on the can.
Feel is thin and heavily carbonated, a little sticky and a little resinous. Drying coffee finish.
Overall, this was not a pastry stout or a peanut butter stout. There is nothing, I repeat nothing, that even resembles a sweet stout in this beer. It's a straight coffee stout with ethanol and tannic notes with no chocolate, vanilla, or general sweetness. It's almost as if they brewed an imperial coffee stout and threw Reeses Pieces in secondary and decided that simply because of that, they can call it a peanut butter pastry stout. It does not translate. Pretty shitty marketing, imo. This beer is a flat out lie and that pisses me off.
