If you could forge your own power bar, what would you add? We asked our Family and they replied: something sweet, something salty, something thick. So we took their wishes to our anvil and crafted this recipe. A robust 13% pastry stout, blending cashews, raisins, a touch of chocolate and dates, held together by the richness of sticky peanut butter.

Now, how to translate this to beer? We start with an intricate malt bill to create a full body that can carry this many fresh adjuncts. A Belgian yeast to boost a red fruit character, reminiscent of a stout-inspired quadruple. Then adding coffeebeans that hold tones of red fruits and kilos of fresh dates, cashews and peanuts. Finally, last in the process we added three different types of raisins to keep their flavor intact.

Aus der Flasche im 2024-09 getrunken. Bei diesen Stout fällt beim Einschenken ins Glas gleich die leicht erhöhte Viskosität auf. Die Aromen von Peanutbutter, dunkler Schokolade, Mokka bilden ein wunderbares Stout. Durch die leicht erhöhte Viskosität klebt das Stout förmlich an Gaumen im Abgang und dier Aromen bleiben ewig. Traumstoff zum Gebießen!

Can picked up from Drankgigant.nl, Vlissingen, Netherlands, had this sat out on the balcony Friday 16th August 2024 listening to Humanist - On the Edge of a Lost and Lonely World. We had Italian Burgers with a Tomato & Mozzarella Salad. Pours grimping mire black with a fast disappearing small brown head. Roasty notes, chocolate and some fruit, perhaps I am picking up a bit of nuttiness. Really thick and creamy textured mouthfeel, roasty again but this time in the mouth with only very slight traces of nuts, a tangy fruity edge and chocolate. It's certainly interesting and I like that it's not overly sweet, the dried fruits really add a nice lightly tart edge, however whilst I am a fan of subtle flavours I do think that the peanut butter is notable by its almost near absence here.

29th June 2024 Panda thanks to Cloin. Near opaque dark brown beer, a few tan bubbles. Smooth and viscous palate, decent fine carbonation. Silky rich dark malts. Good dark chocolate, sweet dark chocolate, some ice cream van chocolate syrup. Fair amount of nuts, getting slightly seedy in flavour. A little red berry fruitiness, fairly subtle. Smooth finish. Good but it never really spoke to me. All these adjuncts and yet is tasted relatively simple to me. The nuts and chocolate feels like they had a lovers tiff and are not speaking to each other.

One of their better pastry’s, largely because it’s not overly pastried. Peanut butter is very mild. Great base. Guild box

Can at home, from HOTM online, 02/06/24. Pitch black with a good sized lasting khaki head. Nose is chocolate, dark malts, peanut butter, spice, molasses, booze fumes, hint of liquorice. Taste comprises treacle toffee, dark malts, molasses, brown sugar melt, toffee fudge, spice, peanut butter shards. Full bodied, oily feel, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost. Tidy well balanced impy ... big and ballsy but delivers well.
