Nut Crusher Peanut Butter Porter
Wild Ride Brewing Co.

Pretty. Deep brown with light showing some amber highlights on the edge. Sandy head from a firm cap. Decent retention. This layers of lacing.
Nose pops with peanut, ground peanut. Beneath, a mild malt note that is not quite sweet but providing a nice base.
Flavor is more mild on the peanut than the nose was. Still coming through but not as pronounced. The malt comes through as a very mellow chocolate meets (barely) caramel. But the peanut butter is good.
Mouthfeel is just shy of medium with subtle carbonation.

This isn't quite as good as the Belching Beaver PB beer. I think it may be a stout. Pours a dark brown color with a tan head. Sweet PB aroma and taste. A fairly good PB beer and easier to get locally compared to Belching Beaver. Usually get 22oz bottle from Safeway when I purchase it. 6-18-2018

 

 

Bomber from Atkinson’s. First thing is a big, peanut-y aroma that snacks you in the face. Nothing special about the pour, normal for he style. Looks oily, and the peanut butter carries over prominently into the taste, enough to mask the porter base flavors. Quite good, actually.

 

Pours a caramel cola with a finger of mocha foam. Nose is bitter coffee, roasted malt, peanuts and semi sweet chocolate. Taste follows suit. Some peanut flavor but not peanut butter as far as my taste. A lot more bitter base stout flavor. Feel is crisp, not quite as full as I was expecting. Overall, okay.

I love me some peanut butter. I could live on PB&J sammiches breakfast lunch and dinner.
I love porters. They're my favorite category of beer.
Peanut butter porters? Not as bad as they sound. If this 4 pack weren't free to me, I wouldn't have gone out and bought more than a single, but this is pretty good...for a freebie. Up front is the chocolately notes typical of a porter, and it starts out smooth. The peanut butter hits on the after taste of you're drinking quickly, or after a second or two of you let it settle in your mouth. It is pretty abrupt, and I can taste why some, especially those that aren't peanut butter fans to begin with, would find it distasteful, but I dont find it overwhelming. Then again, I am also known to eat a reeses whole or finish off a bag of peanut butter m&ms quickly.
Overall, I'd give it a 7.75 out of 10.

A: The beer is very close to being jet black in color and only has traces of dark brown near the edges of the glass. It poured with a quarter finger high dark beige head that left a narrow collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of peanut butter are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and has stronger flavors of peanut butter along with additional notes of chocolate and caramel, the latter of which are only noticeable in the finish.
M: It feels medium-bodied and a bit smooth on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: The taste of this beer has a nice amount of peanut butter and chocolate flavors, although I wouldn't compare it to the type of intensity that you get when you bite into a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.

My good friend and old neighbor from the 'Wego gave me a bottle of this beer. It poured an opaque dark with no head and no lace. The scent had a nutter butter flare. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with subtle peanut butter presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is an ok beer.

Brownish black with a tan ring. This is night and day between the smell and taste, smell is full of creamy and nutty peanut butter with chocolate accenting. Just like breathing in a peanut butter cup. Taste is so disappointing after this: bland and watery roasted malt with a hint of peanuts and bitter chocolate. Nothing like it smelled. Feel is watery, thin, malty and more roasted than sweet. Unfulfilled potential

Man, this is bad.

From a bottle with a slight tan-brown foam head and a dark, dark brown body. The head recedes quickly leaving a wispy layer behind. Scent is peanuts up front with a nice chocolate and coffee backup. Taste is on the sweeter side, with a nice mix of peanut, chocolate, and caramel and a hefty roasted malt backbone. Feel is silky but not heavy and a sweet aftertaste. Honestly the flavors come across as more subdued than expected, which is a nice change of pace from some of the nuttier or harsher beers that incorporate peanut flavors. Would recommend at least trying!
