Midnight Snack - Peanut Butter Pie
Abomination Brewing Company

(Sticky Oven version) N S I.... 11:48:05 means...WTF? No decipherable can date, another average, unimpressive abomination (pun intended) with decent mouthfeel; wafts of banana/PB+ a fake, powdery cocoa hint (no marshmallow) & an acidic, funky hard-to-pin-down finish. Not sweet enough to stun a diabetic at two paces. After three swigs, it's going straight into the marinade, your mileage may vary.

Pours jet black with hardly a head on top. Strong smell of peanut butter along with a graham cracker crust. Taste is sweet molasses with hints of peanut butter and roasted malt.

 

Little over a year old. Pours black as hell with some head but disappears fast. Smell is on point with peanut butter pie and waffles with peanut butter spread on them. Hard to pick up on marshmallow and wish it was more so it could be a little more creamier. Solid brew just wish it wasn't watery and more thick/chewy.

 

 

I love Abomination if for no other reason because they have very cool labels. The brews are usually huge and tasty too.

It pours flat (unlike what the other reviewer experienced) and black. No head. The aroma is sweet and muddled. The taste was mostly sweets of all kinds. The different adjuncts listed on the label are well blended - nothing is dominant except maybe the caramel. It works. The lack of fizz detracts from what should have been a better experience.

Not recommended. For $7.59 a can I expect a better quality product, not a flat stout. I will avoid Abominations in the future.

 

Very good head production; decent retention. No lacing, as once the head is gone, it's completely gone, with no trade of the two fingers of dark brown foam that a moderate pour produced.

Even from feet away, you can smell the richness emanating from the glass. Up close, everything you could possibly expect from the description immediately comes to mind: peanut butter, chocolate, marshmallow, caramel, pie dough. It's so strong and rich that I don't get much that I can definitely say is the beer itself coming through, especially with the chocolate and caramel presence hiding any similar notes from the malt base. Minor notes of toast and red grape.

A touch less thick on the palate than expected; it's actually quite smooth. Still full bodied, but not chewy. Minor alcohol heat, mostly showing on the finish.

Certainly not lacking for flavor! It's sweet, and certainly in pastry stout territory, but it's not overly sweet or cloying; rather, it's rich and decadent. Notes of chocolate and peanut butter, if perhaps predictable, are lovely, along with a bready pie crust-like expression, chewy caramel, red grape, vanilla, and cherry. Some of the flavor, in particular the peanut butter, takes a bit of time to build; it's an experience that develops over the course of the sip, and can't be assessed just within the first few moments.

Tons of peanut butter on the finish, along with a creamy marshmallow kiss. Lightly toasted bread and red grape on the aftertaste.

Arguably the only thing keeping this beer from Angry Chair territory is the mouthfeel; a thicker experience would complement the richness of the flavor and contribute to the overall impression of a chocolate and peanut butter dessert.
