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.

Pitch black, one finger mocha head
Aroma of peanut butter, milk, cocoa
The taste follows with a quite dry impression
The mouthfeel is thin and moderatly carbonated
Overall not really a dessert beer despites the peanut added

Purchased at a local grocery store.
Look: Absolutely gorgeous ultra dark brown with a luscious brown head.
Smell: Very sweet peanut butter and chocolate. Similar to a Reece’s Cup.
Taste: The taste consists of an incredible roasted peanut with a slightly sweet finish.
Feel: Creamy and thick. Low in the mouth.
Overall: One of the best low ABV stouts that you will find and you will discover very little sweetness in the taste. I would absolutely recommend this beer.

Taster at the happy Viking. This one has kept escaping my notice, even though its pretty widely available. Finally got the chance to night as a dinner companion didn't like their taster. Focus more on the peanut butter than the chocolate, and with the lacto makes for a sweet beer.

Nice and sweet off the bat but with a nice hit of peanut butter at the end. Peanut butter and the sweet milk stout sticks with you through the finish. Had at a little below room temperature and it's delightful. Such a balanced pb stout.

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
