In honor of Cleveland Beer Week, one of our board members, Rick Seibt, teamed up with his friends at Collision Bend to bring back a local favorite porter. It's flavored with chocolate, peanut butter & coffee, and it won a few medals in its day. Proceeds from this special batch will go to Cleveland Beer Week, a registered non-profit whose profits will benefit the Jimmy Malone Scholarship Fund.

This is the old Willoughby Peanut Butter Cup Coffee Porter recipe.

Canned on 9-28-22. 12oz can poured into a tulip.

Pours almost black; fluffy and creamy khaki head that falls leaving nice retention and sticky lacing.

Coffee leads the way in the aroma department. Hints of chocolate and peanut butter. Malts are there.

The flavors follow the nose. More coffee leading the way. The peanut butter and chocolate comes through. Nice blend of milk chocolate and dark chocolate. Nice sweetness with a decent bitterness. Strong malt backbone. Alcohol goes unnoticed.

Mouthfeel is nice. It's medium-bodied with moderate carbonation. It's fluffy, creamy and slightly thick.

It's no surprise that this is a nice peanut butter coffee porter considering it's the recipe of a classic local beer. The coffee shines but the peanut butter and chocolate do their thing. Well done.

Pretty much opaque, very dark brown with a tan foam head of moderate height retaining well, collapsing slowly from the center out.

I didn't think I'd get to try this but good looking out Nick. I guess I get to keep my Northeast Ohioan card. Taste starts tangy and mildly roasty and tobacco-forward before a toasted coffee bean bitterness then reveals a delicate peanut butter smoothness. But then the exhale comes back to the roast, bringing a touch of smoky old school porter back into the mix. Smell is even more classic than you'd expect, almost containing an astringency to the roast.

The medium-light body has a supporting froth and finishes paper dry.
