What Our Panel Thought
Aroma: “Coffee up front with peanuts behind it. There’s also a faint earthy/smoke note all backed by roasted malt and chocolate support.”
Flavor: “Very coffee, but more chocolate and roast from the beer come out, and the peanuts are more integrated with the malt. It’s sweet but not overly sweet. The alcohol helps balance as well as some hops bitterness. The finish is smooth.”
Overall: “Rich, decadent, creamy, without being overly sweet or cloying. The peanut butter and coffee are really well done. They add nice complexity but are balanced with the base beer. The overall balance throughout is really well done, the aroma is warm and inviting, the beer rich and complex, and you’re left with a lingering balance of chocolate and peanut butter with roast and coffee.”
What the Brewers Say
“Milk, coffee, peanut butter....imperial stout.”
