Peanut Butter Milk StoutPeanut Butter Milk Stout
Notes: America’s Favorite Peanut Butter Milk Stout: this silky-smooth beer put us on the map. Troy came up with the idea of combining Peanut Butter with our Beaver’s Milk Stout and he nailed it. Don’t let the dark color fool you, this beer is delightfully easy to drink with cascading aromas of roasted peanuts, dark chocolate and coffee.

Overall, among the best beers I’ve ever had. It is sweet and bitter in good amounts, good body, but not really creamy, and manageable abv for day drinking… even late mornings

The aroma of a PB Milk Stout is pungent and enticing. First sips are always the best. I'm a big fan of this beer and only wished it had a richer mouth feel. Everything else is fantastic

Poured from a 12 ounce can into a tulip glass.

Look- Black, medium brown sudsy head, below average head retention and lacing.

Smell- Peanut butter, chocolate, coffee.

Taste- Peanut butter, chocolate, ginger, milder than expected flavors.

Feel- Thin body, average carbonation, mildly creamy.

Overall- Nice bouquet, but flavors not as vibrant as I expected.

“Like chocolate Reese's in a can” is the claim, as an avid consumer of Reese’s I am keen to see it this holds true. We will soon find out.

This brew is jet black and opaque with a bubbly thin brown head that settled into a thin cover. There is a bit of a strength to the aroma and I find it a bit off putting. Roasted peanuts with hazelnut with a strong backbone of dark chocolate. The peanut butter is there in the sweetness but battling it out with the chocolate for who is more dominant.

The first mouthful does not give a clear winner there either, both flavours seem to balance each other out nicely. The lactose gives the beer an overall creamy feel. There is a bit of carbonation on the tongue and a little bitterness. A medium body, not nearly as full as I would have thought.

This is a dessert beer so expect the sweetness. Pretty close to a Reese’s, but not so close that I have found a replacement just yet.

Look: Cracked open a 12 oz bottle and poured into a beer cup - dark black pour with very minimal foam at the top. Can't see a soul through this beer. Little lacing on the side as the beer warms down a bit.
Smell: Instantly getting notes of chocolate, nutty peanut butter, similar to reeses peanut butter cups. This looks very promising.
Taste: Tasting the chocolate mixed in with the peanut butter after the initial chocolate taste. Getting some malts in this as well. Very nice!
Feel: Light carbonation - medium bodied beer. Very smooth and easy to drink.
Overall: This is a great peanut butter milk stout! I've had this on nitro before - hard to top it off but this is still very great if you're looking to dabble into peanut butter milk stouts!

From a can. Opaque dark brown with a thing layer of brown head. Rich, salty peanut butter smell. Medium body. Tastes of peanut butter at first with a creamy roasted malt finish. A novelty that works well.

Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a black color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is heavy on the peanut butter, some roasted malts are present. Taste is the same as the aroma, flavorful. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a good quality beer worth trying.

From a six pack of cans poured in to a pint glass. Opaque black color with a foamy tan head. Smell of some dairy sweetness, roasted grain and peanuts. Tastes a lot like it smells, medium body with a slightly cloying bitter finish. It's very sweet. More of a desert beer than sessionable.

This is a 12oz. can poured into a 20oz. weizen glass. This brew is very dark with four fingers of beautiful dark tan, thick foam on top. The foam did settle leaving blotches attached to the side and a thin cap remains. This dark coffee colored brew is impossible to see any type of carbonation.
The aroma is very pleasant, peanuts and sweetness.
The flavor is milky, peanuts, dry roasted coffee, with some sweet chocolate at the finish. There really isn't anything bitter here, just a slight dryness from the coffee flavors.
The feel is smooth, just what you expect from a milk stout, The thickness of this brew is full but not overly heavy, I think I could easily sample two or three of these in a sitting. This is a very nice dessert beer.

tastes kind of like a peanut butter milk shake. no head and the feel is a bit weak. it doesn’t do so well as a stout but it is interestingly enjoyable.

Drank it out of the can this time unfortunately so I can’t accurately review the look. But it certainly smells heavily of peanut butter, not a peep from the milk, which makes sense considering milk doesn’t have the strongest aroma anyway. At first, you get a lot of peanut butter and a bit of a creamy texture, that would be the milk stout. Not very highly carbonated, a win for the stout. But, in my opinion it tasted and felt much more like a porter than a stout. Still very thick and rich, but was kind of missing that stout darkness. After a few sips when you get used to the flavors, the only thing you’ll be able to taste is a nutter butter. For me this was a pleasant surprise as I’m not normally big on peanut butter. But— I think a more skilled and seasoned beer drinker and taster might also complain that it was too strong. As I said it lacks that dark, toffee, coffee dirty flavor that is synonymous with stouts, which is why I tend to compare it more to a porter. The peanut butter flavor completely overpowers almost anything else. Again, for me, not a bad thing as much as I love a good stout, but I can see some taking points off because of it.

Pours a pitch black color with a small foamy head. Head retention is minimal. Lacing is decent. Has a strong peanut butter aroma. Same with taste. Not very sweet. Slightly roasty. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
