Wow. Pours a beautiful black with dark brown edges when held to the light, with a tan head that leaves beautiful lacing.

Huge peanut butter on the nose. Graham cracker and milk chocolate.

Taste follows the nose. There is the peanut butter, smooth chocolate and maybe a little vanilla.

Mouthfeel is smooth with light but noticeable carbonation. Not as thick and full bodied as some imperial stout, but it stands up nicely.

If I can buy this beer again, I'm gonna get the limit.

 

 

Aslin Brewing Company. This one is one dimensional but holy lord amazing! Poured into a 16 oz Snulip glass not sure when it was canned. Pours a very attractive near pitch black with a light brown sticky head that leaves thin webs of lace behind, with solid retention. 4.25

Smell is peanut butter, chocolate, and maybe a hint of vanilla, really special but pretty simple. 4.5

Taste follows my lord this may be the finest Peanut Butter and chocolate stout ever, amazingly simple and tasty. 4.5

Mouthfeel well here is what sets this apart, bigger than average, gentle carbonation, almost creamy, maybe a touch dry, but at 10% very difficult to just sip. 4.5

Overall this is the best peanut butter and chocolate stout I have ever had, so one dimensional but in this situation I am loving that and besides flavor everything else is spot on, really sad I only have one. 4.5

Can from 1/4/18 release. Poured into Belgian tulip.
Look is pitch black with a soft light brown head. Nose is tons of peanut butter, some chocolate in the back, like a Reese’s cut in half with extra peanut butter. Taste follows the same but with roastiness replacing the sweetness in the back. Mouthfeel is medium-thick and creamy, fits nicely. Overall tons of peanut butter which I usually don’t love in beer but the lack of intense sweetness and the roast and chocolate in the taste balance it and make this a pretty easy to drink stout. Good stuff.
