This beer is a true testament to mankind's arrogance. We took an already perfect pairing, chocolate and peanuts, and challenged ourselves to improve upon it further by doing what we do best: aging it in bourbon oak barrels. This smooth and creamy treat will satisfy anybody's sweet tooth!

Bottle thanks to Drake! Was supposed to be a dry evening (so was yesterday, and that's why today was supposed to be dry), but I can't quite make it. Pours dark brown, looks hazy in the pour. Head goes away completely, but there's obvious carbonation. Peanuts, chocolate, whiskey nose. Brownie, peanut butter, whiskey, light wood. I want to like this, but something's just slightly off. Almost tastes cheap, but not exactly. It's not bad, it's just not memorable =(

12oz bottle. I'd be more comfortable calling this a malt beverage than a Stout. The base is pretty much malt extract, which really can't stand up to the barrel tone that well. The Reeses tone is weak for a beer that calls itself that, the barrel tone is weak as well. Lackluster stuff.

12 ounce bottle from Ridgeview Liquor, 4/19/23. Very dark brown, thin fizzy brown head, poor retention. Aroma of nuts, roast, whiskey, vanilla. Taste is roast, cherry, whiskey, oak, coconut, peanuts. Thinner than expected. Solid.
