Junkyard / Modist The Bar Side Episode Two: Betsy's Dark Secret. 6 % ABV. Stout with coffee, chocolate, lactose, and natural peanut flavor.
So, this is part two of a collaboration between Junkyard Brewing of Moorhead, Minnesota, and Modist of Minneapolis. I haven't seen part one, the Modist version, yet. Is it sold out? Only at the taproom? Sold out of only the taproom?
Utter darkness (if I were a punning person, I'd say "udder"), deepest blackness, under a roasty tanned head. Looking very nice.
In the nose: Ah! Chocolate, coffee, peanuts! Who put their chocolate in my peanut butter? Scrump-diddly-uptious.
In the mouth: Roasty/toasty. Dry. Cocoa and espresso. Creamy-smooth. Delightful. Dreamy. Medium bodied, long-lasting flavors. Robust and relishable. (My new word, trying it out.) Flat out tasty.
I say, Go Drink It!

This one is better than the modist version out of the can but not the tap version. The modist tap version was one of the best peanut butter beers I’ve had. This one is good. Lots of chocolate and peanut butter. Can’t find the coffee. Tasty though.

Poured from crowler into glass. Fill date stamped as '1/25/19.
Dark brown colored body, with medium brown back lit highlights. One finger of tan head that fizzles away to thin skiff of a cap and ring. Leaves behind some small spots of lacing.
Aroma of equal components of chocolate and coffee, with an addition of peanut. Smells rich and sweet.
Taste of dark roasted malts with dark chocolate and coffee as the main flavors. The peanut flavor is an additional component. Sweet through most of the taste profile and then gets coffee bitter at the end. Lots of coffee and chocolate in the after taste.
Thinner mouth feel. Good carbonation. Somewhat oily surface texture.
As the beer warms it becomes much more like cold pressed coffee. Disappointed in the thinner body. Not as sweet as the Modist collaborative beer 'Betsy's Bright Idea', because 'Betsy's Bright' has lactose added and this one does not. I like the smell and flavor of 'Betsy's Dark' more than 'Betsy's Bright', but the thinness of the body here drags down the rating.
