Bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a clear, dark orange with a half finger of off white head. Aroma of pumpkin pie and spices. Taste is lightly sweet, follows aroma with a solid dose of hop bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied with a slightly creamy texture. Lively carbonation and a decently long finish. Good. I’m really digging the hop forwardness here.

On tap. Pours a clear amber with a white head that lasts throughout the beer. Aroma has a good amount of sweet grain with hints of earthiness and grass backing. Flavor has lots of sweet grains and sweet bread with a hint grass underlying.

Draft at Olympic. From notes. My first go-round with a peanut butter beer. Have to say, kinda disappointed. Very good brown ale, with just a tiny hint of peanuts at the end of the finish. Good beer regardless though.
