The King is an arduously crafted barrel-blended stout made with bananas and peanut butter. It contains a thread of barrel-aged beer that was masterfully blended and then conditioned upon heaps of dried bananas. This portion of beer was then blended with fresh stout that was conditioned upon peanut butter and then blended with the barrel-aged banana portion of the beer. We taste creamy chocolate peanut butter, overripe banana, and sweet coffee with a permeating and delicious vanilla bourbon note. Enjoy!

12 oz bottle. Thank you TJ for the share! The flavor is intense! Coffee, soft bourbon, and to my surprise banana. Peanut butter is also found throughout the sip. Thicker body nice texture. Incredible that the banana can be found. 4.3

Aroma is peanut butter, bananna, hint of vanilla. Taste is chocolate, coffee, bourbon, nice integration of flavors. Well crafted.

Pours a deep dark brown/black from a bottle. Big banana, chocolate and some faint peanut butter aroma. Similar flavor, somewhat sweet but extremely well balanced. Great beer.

Undated, but recently purchased, bottle drunk 6/21/21. Deep, inky, charred, dark-mahogany-to-ebony. Clarity untested. Dark tan head is medium-sized, showing moderate retention. Wow that is some phenomenal F**CKIN' peanut butter and banana in the nose. Even if it is somewhat dominant, it's endearing and just smells authentic and deliciously enticing. Light dark chocolate, vanilla, mildly warming alcohol and coffee-like notes all add complexity and round it out with fully-supportive, rich base malt notes comforting alongside the pb&b. Soft, supple, malty, sweet, rich, and chalk full of delicious, real banana and peanut butter flavor. I mean, I've become a sucker for these pastry stouts with real ingredients. Yes, it sort of redefines what a beer is and the adjuncts are far from subtle here, but I love both of these things and the supportive malt, roasted barley/malt acidity and coffee-like character all help balance (not to mention the alcohol, which is nicely restrained). Big and sweet and rich, but still drinkable and delicious as more of a dessert beer.
