Smack
Bombastic Brewing

Poured at fridge temp. Pours a super thick black with a thin layer of brown head. The nose is definitely dominated by the huckleberry jelly. Some chocolate also comes through.

The taste follows the nose. Sweet jammy fruit, chocolate, vanilla, slight roasty note, and a touch of toffee. The peanut butter comes through, but it takes a while for it to emerge. Very nice overall, even though I'm not typically a fan of fruit in stouts.

The mouthfeel is thick and creamy, and the aftertaste is peanut butter and jelly.

Pours a somewhat effervescent chestnut/mahogany with one finger of mocha colored head. Viscous, zero head retention & lacing

S: PB& J, berry dominant

T: PB& J with peanut butter leading the charge along with dryness & cocoa up front. Peanut butter, cocoa & berries as this beer warms up. PB & J finish, a little dark chocolate & slight booze bite & some roasted grain notes

MF: Medium body, restrained carbonation, a little booze warming

Impressive drinkability for the ABV. Peanut butter is tricky for me, this one works better than most

From a 4-pack picked up at Big Head's Bottle Shop in Missoula, MT
16oz can poured into a Steeplejack pint

P black w/ a small tan cap
N soft-med peanut butter nuttiness and jammy berry elements; pleasant, but I really have to get in there to discern the notes
T lots of roast and chocolate, supplemented by subtle peanut butter and huckleberry character in the finish; abv is extremely well hidden
Mf med-full to full bodied and super creamy; soft-med to med carb
O a roasty sleeper with ridiculously well-hidden abv and a great mouthfeel

Many thx to muchloveforhops3 for this beer!

A - Black pour with thin reddish-purple lacing ring.

S - Chocolate char malt base with some substantial peanut butter blended in.

T - Chocolate and chocolate char malt base with peanut butter over top and nice subtle berry blended in while finishing nice and balanced.

M - Big and velvety on the texture while leaving a sugary residue on the lips and minimal warming in the back of the throat.

O - As advertised and impressed how well the ABV is hidden. More importantly, love the chocolate char / peanut butter blend. Really nicely done!

 

Very interesting stout, literally smells like a PB&j. Great flavor, not too sweet but alcohol hidden.

16oz can from Brewers Haven. Black pour with a thin, fine layer of beige foam. Huckleberry jam in the aroma, followed closely by peanut butter. Taste brings them together for a full PB&J experience, only slight hints of roasty malts. Sweet, ABV masked wel
