The beer has a bit of style with the chocolate and touch of peanuts. The beer is pretty standard. Their is no real faults but its tasty ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pours deep brown, with a thick, syrupy body. The peanut aroma was unmistakeable; however, its earthy flavor reminded me more of peanut shells than of peanut butter. The chocolate flavor was overshadowed by the taste of peanut husks. It also seemed to have a smoky quality--almost like ashes. As a peanut butter lover, I had high hopes for this one but was disappointed.

Pours cola brown with no head. Aroma of dark chocolate and roasted malt. Chocolate flavor with peanut and roasted malt. Minimal aroma, but quite tasty.

Location/Date:Bottle on January 25th, 2013 during day 1 of Nerd Beer Epic Weekend.

Appearance: Pours dark black with light head..
  Aroma: Aroma of mostly peanut butter..and that’s great!.
  Taste: Chocolate, faint roast, and peanut butter..yes peanut butter!.
    Palate:Medium body quick aftertaste.

Summary: I really really wanted to try this, and really, it’s quite good! Not your everyday beer but a great compliment to desert or just to finish a night, chocolatey peanut butter goodness. Thanks Ben!

Bottle from Eric and served in a tulip. Opened to celebrate National Peanut Butter Day: Pours a clean deep brown hue with a fizzy fading head and not much lacing. The aroma has notes of peanuts and walnuts along with moderate roast, chocolate and some leathery esters. A hint of herbal hop and cola like syrupy twang. The taste is pretty much that of a standard run of the mill porter, nutty and roasty with a dash of chocolate. Very minimal hop notes and some weird artificial taste on the finish. Even more than the lack of actual Reese Peanut Butter Cup I was so hoping to have is the overwhelming soda like carbonation that just is off-putting. While I like the idea, the execution was terribly flawed leaving me with a standard porter that is over carbonated. Yet another disappointing offering from this brewery.

Abouta 1 cm thick brown head of varying sized bubbles from a vigorous pour. Distinct peanut aroma with some roasted grains, light milk chocolate and some dark fruit. I am really diggin’ this aroma. Color is a very dark brown. Ohhh, flavor is... different. More peanuts along with some dark coffee, burnt toast and a hint of tartness. Kind of watery palate and lingering chalky dryness. Mouth feel is not a plus. Weak finish that is basically just dry and chalky. Not something I would really recommend. Starts off very promising and then goes south.

On draft at Funky Buddha. I know I’m being a tough critic here but as far as peanut butter beers go this one just totally lacks in comparison to any others I may have tried within the last year. Taste more like flat root beer.

22oz bottle. Medium beige head atop cola brown body. Aroma is moderately sweet, milk chocolate, peanut butter, some cola. Taste is moderately sweet, cola, some milk chocolate, peanut butter, light nut. Medium body, some stickiness.

Pint pour of healthy darkness with nice full khaki head. Nose opens to rich chocolate and healthy peanut but starts all chocolate with no peanuts. Flavor is the same and opens nicely, followed by nice roasted malts as well. Turned out to be quite drinkable. Better on draft than bottle.

Bottle pour of dark black with a small disappearing tan head. Aroma of big toasted chocolate malt with hints of coffee and a very hidden smell of peanut butter. Taste along the same lines with faint peanut butte aftertaste. Med body beer with a light smooth mouth feel and a me finish of peanut butter. Over all very smooth and drinkable porter but the peanut butter is not as big of a taste as I had hoped. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
