Draught @ the brewpub, San Diego as "Gimmick Ale - White Chocolate Peanut Butter Stout". Pours pale yellow, is this really a stout? Aroma is rather mild with some peachy malt. Flavour has some apricot, peaches and floury peanut tones. The chocolate and peanuts are rather well hidden here; they just eat the refreshing factor of this one.
