For this Halloween inspired variant, we took our 7% robust chocolate milk stout and conditioned it on 600lbs of chocolate chips, 1,000lbs of locally made chocolate peanut butter from our friends Reginald's Homemade, and 100lbs of Reese’s pieces. Creamy, velvety, liquid chocolate, swirled with fresh, rich peanut butter.

16oz can served into a pint glass. Thanks Kevin for this one.
Not sure how to rate the appearance of this beer so I'm just going to give it a 4.5 for originality. There's literal peanuts / peanut butter floating in it. Dark brown body. Lacing is peanut butter cup chunks LOL.
Aromas are real peanuts and chocolate. Not artificial peanut butter, or even peanut butter. Just peanuts and chocolate. Really nice. Taste mirrors the nose with peanuts and chocolate, straight peanut butter cups. A tad thin mouthfeel, except for the last sip which was straight peanut butter... like actual peanut butter.
This beer was different, and I liked it. I couldn't drink more than 2 of these without developing diabetes, but it would be totally worth it.

Poured a black body with no head and the aroma is chocolate but more of a burnt/roasted chocolate smell as the peanut butter comes through. Smooth beer yet real heavy and sticky with a strong chocolate and peanut butter taste and a little overboard for my liking but it's enjoyable and has a clean finish.

Chocolate Milk Stout - 7% abv
Canned 10/31/17 (19 days ago)
L - freaking weird. Looks like no beer I've ever seen. The beer pours with almost no head, then erupts like a volcano with giant brown bubbles a few seconds later. A muddy brown trickle continues to seep from the can for several minutes. Settles into a sludgy brown layer above a pitch black body.
S - peanut butter and milk chocolate - check. Also getting a little booze.
T - very sweet. Tastes like an adult milkshake that's been allowed to warm up and melt. Chocolate comes out more than the peanut butter.
F - again, weird. When your lips breach the muddy brown top layer, it doesn't even feel like a beer...more like a pudding. Then you reach the actual liquid, which is incredibly high carb. It continues to fizz in your mouth like Pop Rocks for several seconds. I don't know what to make of it.
O - I really don't know how to score this. It's so strange in every category. I actually like it though, as it reminds me of the experience someone might have after drinking a new type of alcohol for the first time. Maybe I should track down some Absinthe
