Barrel Aged Peanut Butter No-Bake Krampus
Old Irving Brewing Co.

16 ounce can into a snifter. A 2022 release, had 12/16/22.

Pours near black and opaque, with a brief foamy head and light soapy lacing. Aromas of peanut butter, vanilla, malt, chocolate, some bourbon, some oak, light smoke. The flavors mostly match up- bourbon, peanut butter, malt, chocolate, vanilla, light oak. Smooth, a little creamy, a solid full body, appropriately carbonated.

This is really good. The peanut butter stands out and the other add- ins show well. Solid base. This is the best peanut butter beer I can remember having, although I don’t really seek them out.

I enjoyed being In The Buff so I figured PB No-Bake was a natural progression to improve my Buff figure. 16 oz. can. None for my wife. She hates PB in beer. Heathen.

Black; no creamy or nutty peanut colors detected. One of the stronger aromas of ’23: chocolate, barrel, vanilla, & soft, roof-sticking peanut better. Max 12 approved.

Barrel Aged Krampus – Peanut Butter No Bake is serious business – Jif may sue them for copyright infringement. Strong peanut butter is welcome in this dark era of PB rationing in beers, then comes the barrel, nice bourbon sling, sweet vanilla rampaging through the middle. Sweet malts & perhaps chocolate penetrate the finish, & not nicely; the sugar overdose runs right to the edge of too much. It cuts the drinkability but it’s a nice, full lack of drinkability.

Some roast or coffee or less of a sweet add would have catapulted this over the castle wall of super respectability; as is, only excellent. Yawn.

Look - black thick slight rim
Smell - chocolate pb and vanilla along with barell
Taste - the smell x2
Feel - full body creamy light carb
Overall - really great!
