Our dark and decadent Baltic porter aged in bourbon barrels with peanut butter and jelly. The lengthy conditioning period in the barrels creates a silky smooth chocolatey mouth feel enhanced by the use of oats and brown sugar. Noticeable sweetness gets balanced by roasted malt and hop bitterness. Additional flavors include bourbon, vanilla, and oak.

500 ml. bottle shared @ RBBSG17. Black, small mocha head. Nose is easy chocolate, cacao, mocha, sweet sugar, cacao. Taste is easy round, didn’t feel 10+ % ABV, mocha, lovely easy, bourbon is barely there, mocha pralines. Less heavy bodied than you would expect. Mixed feeling here, on the one hand it was a very nice but the bourbon was barely there, there were no raspberries & I failed to pick up on the peanut butter, a real shame, still very nice beer.

Sampled @ RBBSG 2017. Dark brown color, decent sized beige head. Aroma is malts, don’t get any bourbon, but there’s a touch of peanut butter. Taste malts, again no bourbon, peanut butter somewhat in there, also don’t get the raspberries. Meh, not a very nice version of this awesome beer imo.

Bottle at RBSG. Last of the series.Nutty with some fruity notes. Aftertaste starts to resemble the PB&J sandwich of it’s namesake. Interesting.

Pours a dark brown black from a bottle, thin khaki head quickly dissipates. Nose of well-roasted peanuts, smells bitter/burnt. Flavor leans more to the other side of the equation, a little jammy fruit, inexplicably followed by some boozy brown sugary bourbon, with no discernible peanut butter to my palate. Okay beer.

Bottle thanks to AirForceHops: Poured a nice dark brown with tan color head. Aroma is peanut butter and jelly sandwich with roasted malts. Taste is a nice blend of that peanut butter and raspberry jelly, that melds with strong boozy alcohol and smoke.
