Sample at the BJCP reception last week at HomeBrewCon. Deep brownish black with a decent tan head. Huge chocolatey peanut butter on the nose and flavor. Smooth creamy like a Reese’s Peanut butter cup in a glass.

Didn’t realize this was a peanut butter brew when I grabbed, I like peanut butter but just in a drink kind of weirds me out. Fne dark brown pour with beige head. Nose is peanut butter and chocolate. Tastes much ofmthe same but touch sweeter. Oily Palate. Finish is buttery peanuts.

Bottle from the Craft Beer Advent Calendar
Dark brown color. The aroma is a nice chocolate peanut butter spread. The mouthfeel is soft and moderately sweet; nice chocolate flavor with some peanut butter; the final is a bit too roasty.
Weird, but nice.

Poured into a shaker showing big thick black with lightly translucent rims and a finger of latte colored foam. The nose shows just as it says - alot of milk chocolate and peanut butter. The palate is moderately carbonated and medium bodied. A bit heavy for a porter a little close to a basic stout. Flavors of peanut butter lay in the background but nice roasted malt notes throughout take center stage. The finish shows the same roasted malts with a hint of chocolate. Overall, pretty well done.

Bottle. Strong peanut butter, chocolate, malt, and straw aroma - like a Nutty Buddy bar. Dark brown with large tan head. Lightly sweet peanut butter, chocolate malt, and moderately bitter herbal hay flavor. Nice balance.

Bottle: Ruby-black with a frothy tan head. Peanut and shell aroma. Dry-roasted, burned peanut , chocolate malt flavour. Unexpected taste..not sweet at all..........a nice husky bitter, dry and ashy. More roast peanut than peanut butter. Very enjoyable...nicely different than most peanut-oriented beers.

I couldn’t get a hold of the Karl Strauss Peanut Butter Porter but my buddy Beercation hooked me up with this wonderful consolation prize: DuClaw Sweet Baby Jesus! Chocolate Peanut Butter Potter 6.2% Wow, the aroma on this is great - roasty nutty chocolate, the image in my mind is of toasted nuts covered inn luscious chocolate. Awesome. Medium-full bodied with a raspy carbonation. The taste is nutty, roasty, bitter chocolate. This is really really nice stuff though the aroma kicks the flavors ass though both are great. Umm, nutty chocolate goodness...

The beer is dark brown and appears fairly clear. Small to medium beige head. Decent retention. The aroma is sweet, cheap milk chocolate and intense peanuts. There’s also a healthy dose of cola. It’s an over the top in a gimmicky sort of way to me. Yes, it smells like peanuts and chocolate but not in a particularly good way. It reminds me of a novelty soap. Taste is a bit better, but it’s just shallow and sweet with artificial-tasting flavors. There’s no rich depth to offset the sweet peanut butter and chocolate. It’s like a crappy candy bar. There’s also a funny bitter sour twang in the finish as a coffee note kicks up - seems oddly out of place. The thin feel hurts this beer a lot. No creaminess. It’s just fizzy and light.

Many thanks to Erzengel for sharing! Pours very dark brown colour with a huge most good lasting tan head. Aroma of peanuts, caramel, vanillla, dark mild roasted malt. Taste of dark roasted malt, tons of peanuts, vanilla, chocolate, delicious!

Many thanks to my "Santa 2015" jsquire for this bottle! Peanuts and chocolate in the nose. The beer starts very dry - like a Snickers without sugar. The beer is very dry, lots of dark roasted malts, the chocolate and the peanut butter are not too overwhelming. I like the great smooth combination. Great stuff!
