No Soft Goodbyes - Peanut Butter Brownie Edition
Birds Fly South Ale Project

Poured moderately hard from a tall can into a snifter, but had to stop since it created a ton of foamy tan head. Soon faded to a bit of lacing on a deep brown body. Smell is boozy brownie. Taste follows, with a delicious brownie flavor throughout, with a bit of peanut butter coming at the end. Really like this style for peanut butter in a stout, usually it can be too intense. Somehow doesn't taste boozy at all, despite the 15.2% ABV that might be the highest beer I've ever had. Medium to thick bodied with a mild bit of carbonation. Super good brownie stout, and not even too sweet to drink steadily.

L: Poured from a tallboy can to a pint glass. Had a dark brown / almost black color and a thick, opaque consistency. There was a two inch, creamy, tan-colored head that lasted an average amount of time. Pretty good lacing.

S: A decent, but not brilliant, aroma of chocolate, peanut butter, roasted malt, vanilla, and booze.

T: Tasted of good amount of roasted malt (present throughout; a major factor), some peanut butter (mostly in the finish), s tinge of vanilla (a fleeting presence), a fair bit of chocolate (could've used a bit more, though), and sporadic notes of booze. Not a bad flavor, but it needs a little boost with some ingredients. Still, pretty decent.

F: An average amount of carbonation with a smooth finish. Medium-bodied.

O: This is an uneven beer, but it has some good parts. Worth a look.
