Last couple of beers before the plane. Pint glass @HalfDoor, 5.2%. Golden, oily, honeyed look. Smell is Frangelico, nutty & boozy. Taste is Nutella, cheap Nesquik powdered chocolate, whole milk, mixed nuts & super faint bitterness on the finish. A little too sweet maybe. Feel is milky, low carbonation, slightly greasy too. Not quite what I wanted.

Sampled from the tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear yellow gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a strong cookie note with white chocolate and decent amount of peanut butter underlying. Flavor has sweet grains and white chocolate with a growing peanut butter presence. Intense.

Draft. Amber beer with a cream head. Peanut butter and light chocolate aroma. peanut butter and chocolate flavor. Medium bodied. Peanut butter and chocolate lingers with light sweet malt. Somehow it works.

Draught @ the brewpub, San Diego as "Gimmick Ale - White Chocolate Peanut Butter Stout". Pours pale yellow, is this really a stout? Aroma is rather mild with some peachy malt. Flavour has some apricot, peaches and floury peanut tones. The chocolate and peanuts are rather well hidden here; they just eat the refreshing factor of this one.
