I really like this - they really packed a lot of flavor into this.
Pours dark and stouty with a thick tan head that dissipates fairly quickly.
Aroma is great, like a peanut butter cup soaked in creamy hot chocolate. The flavor follows the aroma with rich peanut butter cup and hot chocolate flavors dominating. A hint of cinnamon is mixed in with a very faint barrel character flowing through it all. A good somewhat creamy mouthfeel.

A- Pours a very dark brown color that reminds me of root beer/cola....the head starts out about a finger thick but disappointingly fizzles out rather quickly into a ring around the inside of the glass. The carbonation appears to be tight and aggressive around the outside edge of the glass, otherwise it is really hard to see what is happening. The lacing is not very impressive either, with an oily film being really the only remnant left behind after the small patchwork of fizz quickly gravitates back into the liquid. Hopefully the rest of the categories are better....

S- Huge amounts of sticky sweet Reese Peanut Butter cup, heavy doses of creamy hot chocolate mix, dark and/or milk chocolate, perhaps some chocolate wafer, fresh peanut that has been shelled, mild horchata, vanilla bean/cinnamon spices and a finish that is Earthy dry and lingers very much in the syrupy sweet department......definite dessert like quality on the nose and full marks!

T- Whoa, this tastes different than the aromas let on! The Rye whisky is most definitely a dominant flavor, and hits the palate with a whollop! There is a woodsy nature that isn't really that good, followed up by mild tastes of peanut butter, chocolate and an incredibly unfortunate sour apple flavor that hits the sides of the tongue. The alcohol is pungent and quite noticeable.....sorry but raw rye mash is not a compliment to the flavor of this one......

M/O- Creamy medium/full body, and smooth carbonation are the selling points here, but otherwise, this tastes like Pigs' Ass. What an abomination over the standard Mexican Chocolate PB Stout......I'm telling everyone, if you want something more like a sour and with tart fruit mixed into a Stout, this is it....Blah....not worth the $18 I spent....not worth 1.80 either.

Peanut butttttttter! Someday someone is going to make a rye whiskey barrel aged rye beer with peanut butter & maple syrup, & then I can die. Until then, there’s this 500ML bottle picked up in Carlsbad, CA.

The cap pops & the bottle slowly bubbles over….l’ll try not to read into that. Looks black, like the outside of the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup I engulfed earlier today. The smell is a light dose of chocolate but mostly roasted peanut butter. I approve.

Barrel Aged Mexican Chocolate Peanut Butter clashes on an atomic level. The title of the beer is all there: cinnamon that’s a bit too strong, dunking the chocolate & peanut butter into lesser roles. The rye whiskey is like socks & sandals with the balance of the beer, making it muddy & unfocused. The rare barrel aged peanut butter chocolate beer I wish I’d shared with someone else.

Just too many cooks in the kitchen. Sadly, this is less than the sum of its excellent parts. Pretty good beer.

Beautiful tan head, rich mouthfeel. Aroma reflects the taste: peanut butter, chocolate, and salt. If you want a peanut butter cup in a dessert beer, this is it. Despite being barrel aged, not particularly boozy flavor. It is detectable, but doesn't detract from the effect.
