About
Penn Brewery began brewing craft beer back in 1986, making us one of the earliest pioneers in the American craft movement. We started out brewing classic lagers and German beer styles, adhering to the strict quality standards of the 16th-century Bavarian Reinheitsgebot purity laws. As we’ve expanded our lineup in recent years to include IPAs and other contemporary styles like chocolate and pumpkin beers, we’ve stayed true to our quality craftsmanship, brewing all of our beers by hand with top-tier barley and hops. We’re proud to say that Penn beers have won a total of twenty Great American Beer Festival® and World Beer Cup® medals.

Had this on tap at Penn Brewery Pittsburgh Airport. It pours a clear pale yellow like any other common beer. Very slight real strawberry perfume for the nose. Well, I was expecting some sort of cloying pastry brew but this stuff really blew my mind. Nice tart friendly initial taste. Yummy. Slightly sour & clean. Yes, some strawberry sweetness along with a little waffle cone, but this is nothing to sneeze at, its well balanced and delicious. JMHO. Not cloying at all, leads with a co2 sizzle and cutting palate. Slight warming sensations in the middle. Wow, I'm liking this. Got to be one of the better brews I've had from Penn, and they make some good stuff. Nice job PB! I need to go get a few more of these.

Sarris Peanut Butter Meltaway from Penn Brewery

7.4/10 — Appearance 9 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 5 Overall 6.5
Had this on tap at Penn Brewery in the Pittsburgh International Airport. Very dark brown pour, almost coal opaque black. Nice tan head. Nose is mouth watering peanut butter. Initially, this stout is easy going and hides any alky content well. Smooth peanut butter candy papate that coats the inside of your mouth, just like the meltaway candy. Sweetness is good up front but gets just a tad cloying near the finish. Not bad overall, a great tick!

Wow, this was a doppelbock? For f-ks sake had a bit of this and was convinced it was just a bad, weak Saison. Not bad or undrinkable, but for a doppelbock? untenable.
