The Cincinnati-based brewer's fascination with kindergarten lunches for beer lovers takes on stouter taste, texture and strength. Their peanut butter flavored Stout shares the palate with already intact tastes of chocolate and coffee from natural roasting of grain for a drinking ale that's best enjoyed after dinner than for lunch.
As any stout would, the beer is opaque with its dark, bark-brown hue that's easily viewed as black through its density and darkness. As a frothy head forms on the beer, its character is like tan whipped topping. However, the head falls flat as the beer falls still quite quickly. With no lacing, the ale soon looks like a chocolate cordial as the peanut butter oils have clearly desegregated any foam character.
Aromas are tantalizing of exactly what's advertised. Cocoa-rich chocolate and bold roast coffee kick things off but with the morsel-sweet milk chocolate and fresh peanut butter trailing closely behind. With no real hop interference, the aromas of Reese Cups is front and center.
Likely starting with a Sweet Stout base, the creamy roast of fresh ground french-press coffee and milk sugars, the beer's taste is balanced and lush. Pile on the bittersweet chocolate and peanut butter flavor and we have a very dessert-like taste. However, the the taste of chocolate and peanut butter seem disjointed- the chocolate rises in the middle palate, but the peanut butter trails in finish and aftertaste. Somewhat plastic-like, there's an odd artificiality that's hard to overlook.
Medium-full on the palate, the beer's lush drinkability is silky and smooth, especially once the carbonation flees and the full weight of the ale is felt on the tongue. Still creamy and velvety, its due to the beer's residual sweetness and malt starch. Lightly warmth and coffee-type bitterness closes the session with a long draw into the next sip.
I rather like the exploratory nature of a Peanut Butter Stout, but its taste and texture is unavoidably artificial and seemingly forced. Still, what's not to love about these flavors in any form. And for beer lovers, Stout is a worthwhile media!
