Fresh Roasted
Lancaster Brewing Company

 

 

12 oz. can pour. Copper-amber color, fairly clear. Not the first peanut butter beer I've had, and not the best. It's an enjoyable brew but feels like 2 different flavors at once, not blended well. One taste is an English ale of some sort, the other is peanut butter. Two things I like but need to be better mixed.

 

Poured into a short, grip shaped goblet: color is dark amber, nearly transparent, head is tan and presents 1 finger thick but dissipates quickly to nothing.

Smell is toasted peanuts, light caramel, no hops.

Taste is toasted peanuts, peanut butter, even that oily character from fresh ground peanut butter, very light toasted and caramel malts, more peanut ale than peanut brown ale but there is malt flavor backing the peanuts.

Mouthfeel is moderate carbonation, moderate sweetness, thin at first but a fuller brown ale/peanut flavor with warmth, crisp finish with limited bitterness.

Overall a decent peanut butter ale - peanut flavor shines here with limited base beer character.

 

12 oz can from near Lancaster Co. PA.
Appearance. Lightly hazy dark copper colored body with a good beige head but minimal lacing.
While this has an excellent aroma of roasted peanuts, this is followed by a comparatively disappointing flavor and an overly thin body.

4/23/21....deep amber which borders on reddish copper. Foam works its way out of the picture. Bready nutty nose, with strong caramel. Subtle peanut sneaks in. First reaction is liquid peanut butter. A little sweet. Smooth.

on tap at Harrisburg location served in a glass

color is caramel brown, no head bead ring

Smell is peanut-y but roast notes only sort of like a yankee candle in a good way

Feel is a mildly carbonated and semi dry texture and light body with slight creamy finish

The taste is nutty, roasted and mildly malty but has a strange peanut extract kind of flavor, mostly aroma with caramel malts in back supoort of peanutskin and roast in flavor

This is like circus peanuts which is the very thing they tried to achieve the aroma of nuts leads to a slight roasted peanut flavor with a hint of oils of peanut skin in taste with light dry element yet support of caramel malt so more of a brown ale with peanut scent

This is a curious beer, it smells so nutty the only thing I can compare it to is pumking with earthy yet sweet caramel and vegetal yet roasted nutty quality in a good but unique peanut tasting brown ale -worth a try

Thanks to Ozzylizard for this one, from a LIF box during NBS BIF#12. 12oz can (code 00621. ?????) poured into 14oz teku. Poured a cloudy medium brown color with 1/4 inch of light khaki head that had low retention and lacing.

The aroma was certainly peanut forward. some light malts underneath.

Similar on the tongue, with the grains showing through a bit better, and a slight touch of floral hops.

The body was light and smooth, with good carb throughout, and a medium finish.

Drinkability was good, I could see knocking back a couple pints, easily.

Overall, a very nice brew, and one that's a pleasant departure from the usual Stouts that get the peanut treatment.

Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a bronze color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is dominated by peanut butter. Taste is peanut butter, toasted malts, a bit on the sweet side. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a unique beer that is worth trying.

-Peanut Butter English Style Ale.

A: A light rustic orange has a quickly dissipating tan head. A very light sense of co2.

S: The nose had sweet moments of molasses and syrup with a soft backing of fresh roasted peanuts. Salty caramel, peanut shells, and toasted malts of mid range strength, well balanced. With some warming the roasty peanut sense comes through a bit better and comes alive. Toasted grains and bread, with some peanut butter notes.

T: Flavor of sweet caramel and syrup, grain sweetness, almost wort like. Fresh roasted peanut shells, toasted buttered caramel, and molasses adds sweetness to the roasty feel. Some sugary raisins, toasty munich, and sweet toffee highlights.

M: The mouthful was soft and syrupy, a good depth and fullness, sweet, with a soft touch of carbonation.

O: Overall a nice rich and sweet array of flavors with a soft roasty peanut backing. Toasted malts and sweetness, peanut aroma and flavor gives you that carnival atmosphere. Good drinkability, pleasant til the finish, a dessert style beer. The roasted peanut shells and sweet molasses and caramel gives the style a bit of a boost and tons of flavor components with a pleasing sensory and reason to try.

 

 

Advertises peanut butter taste and you do get it, but in the aftertaste...

This was a decent little offering from this first time try of this brewer. I really enjoyed the unique copperish look and the light smell of peanuts. Mouthfeel was creamy, lightly carbonated and felt even better as it warmed. The taste was a very muted taste of peanuts, peanut butter, and an even lighter roasted flavor. Even so, it was a decent enough brew - I will be interested to see what else they have...

L - Trace head atop a translucent copper body.

S - strong peanut butter, faint earthy hops.

T - follows the nose. Peanut butter, caramel, vanilla, roast, earth. Low bitterness. Moderate-low sweetness. Low booziness.

F - medium body and carb.

O - an ESB that had a ton of pb spilled into it. It works.
