We took our big pastry stout recipe loaded with caramel, dark and chocolate malts and added a crazy amount of peanut butter. The chocolate and vanilla notes of the base play perfected with the pb flavor to keep you needing the next sip.

On tap at Frisco Taphouse in Gambrills, MD. This is basically liquid Reese's peanut butter cups - very sweet, even cloying, with a big hit of peanut butter (not burnt thankfully) and chocolate. Not overly boozy despite the abv. This is definitely an "instant diabetes" type of beer. Proceed with caution.

Big peanut butter stout here; thick, opaque motor oil pour with a thick mocha head; mouthfeel is a bit oily and there is some alcohol presence for sure. Big peanut butter character, roasty malt, dark chocolate, hints of coffee and marshmallow.

Can poured into a goblet, once cold, once warmer. A small amount of peanut butter on the nose. Dark color, very dark brown head on both pours. The peanut butter is missing in the taste, but chocolate was very present. Very tasty but missing the advertised peanut butter i was hoping for.

This is a massive peanut butter dessert stout, and it completely delivers. There's quite a bit of particulate, which impacts the appearance some. The 16 ounce format is almost too much, as it's rich, decadent, and thick. Mouthfeel is near perfection.
