Twitchy Bitch on Peanut Butter Bar Coffee Beans
R. Shea Brewing - Merriman Valley

 

 

Canned on 6/16/21. 16oz can poured into a tulip. Pours almost black; fluffy khaki head that falls leaving decent retention and lacing. The aromas have a nice amount of roasted black coffee. Hints of peanut butter, vanilla and chocolate. Malts are there. The flavors follow the nose. Nice blend of coffee and peanut butter leading the way. More vanilla in the mix. More chocolate really coming through. Solid roasted characteristics. Solid bitterness coming from the coffee. Mild and subtle sweetness. Strong malt backbone. Alcohol is ultimately well hidden. Mouthfeel is full-bodied with moderate to low carbonation. It's fluffy, creamy, velvety and smooth.

This is a really nice Imperial Stout. The coffee and peanut butter both shine. It's bold and flavorful, while at the same time it feels like something very minor is missing. It's interesting because it's really good and there's not much to complain about at all. Either way, I really do like it.

I recently visited R'Shea Brewery in Akron, Ohio, to try some of their brews. I am glad I did. They had some good stuff including Twitchy Bitch on Pumpkin Spice Coffee an Imperial Coffee Stout.

Look: dark brown/black with an inch thick nice head

Aroma: Coffee and hint of pumpkin

Flavor: It is very good, coffee and a hint of pumpkin spice, not too much pumpkin spice (it shouldn't be a lot). It was well balanced.

Feel: medium to full body

With a creamy tan blanket over a dark brown to black body, notes of semi-bitter yet earthy coffee and cocoa balance earthy peanuts and sweet vanilla via a smooth, round body and sticky dry finish.
