Peanut Butter Porter
Liquid Mechanics Brewing Co.

 

22 oz bomber. Pours dark brown black with a big rocky tan head that retains well and leaves little lacing.

The aroma is grainy roasted chocolate malt and some peanuts.

The flavor is some cardboard malts with roast chocolate and some peanut butter. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with smooth carbonation.

Overall, I remember liking this more when I had it before. Maybe an old or bad bottle?

This beer was given to me by a coworker as a holiday present.

A&S: Half a finger of foamy/fizzy head that dies very quickly, leaving a ring. Globs of lacing hang on the sides. Semi lively carbonation bubbles rising to the surface. The aroma mainly contains roasted malts, smokyness, and coffee. Hints of roasted nuts. The peanut aroma is very noticeable when smelling from the bottle, but not as much from the glassware.

T&M: The taste consists of smoke. Similar to the aroma, the peanut part of the taste is not overwhelming which is great. Pretty smooth a creamy.

Overall: I'm impressed. I think this beer did an excellent job of incorporating peanut butter as a mild aroma and taste while staying true to it's imperial porter form. Not sure of the price, but if it's not over ~13$ I would recommend it as a try.

 

I wasn't sure if this would work, but it did. You get a nice peanut buttery smell up front, and the taste is just the same. It's not sticky or anything, but a nice alternative flavor added to a base porter to liven it up a bit. While everyone does coffee or chocolate, peanut butter works too. Good idea, and made me want to try other beers from them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Opaque dark appearance, strong smell of peanut butter and chocolate, rich in sweet flavors of peanut butter and chocolate, tastes very similar to Reese's Puffs Cereal lol, creamy and thick mouth feel with a smooth finish.
