The flavours follow the aroma - milk chocolate & hints of dark chocolate at the forefront, with roasted peanut and creamy milk sugar sweetness developing by mid-sip. Finishes with fudge, peanut butter and roasted malts fading into a roasty, dark chocolate-y, slightly bitter aftertaste that helps balance out the sweetness. On the fuller side of medium-bodied, with low carbonation that weakly agitates the surface of the palate, resulting in a silky-smooth, luxurious mouthfeel. Tasty enough that I could feasibly drink a couple of these short cans in a row, but not exactly a session option. A medium body and nylon texture. Alcohol seems more present than expected. The carbonation is about right, just short of fizzy. The astringency is truly unfortunate. Taste – The taste begins with tons of sweetness, with lots of caramel, molasses, and brown sugar. Along with these, and anticipated from the nose, there is also a lot of roasted malt and cocoa flavors. The peanut butter is lighter upfront, gaining strength as the taste moves forward. At the same time the flavor also darkens, with more roast and some coffee coming to the tongue. A little bit of vanilla also joins in all while the sweet flavors of caramel fades at the expense of more molasses and brown sugar. AT the end a bit of bitter nut and more peanut comes to the tongue, leaving one with a very sweet and rather dark peanut butter cup flavor to linger on the tongue. Smell – The aroma is huge of a chocolate peanut butter cup smell mixed with lots of roasted and toasted malts and some caramel and molasses sweetness. AT the same time there is a touch of coffee and cocoa nibs, along with a bit of fig and plum. Other lighter vanilla and crème smells are mixed in there as well, mixing with the rest to produce a rich peanut butter dessert aroma.

According to Production Manager Jared Ro Bear, they mix all of the ingredients with water and circulate it in a closed system for a day or more to keep the peanut butter powder in suspension, before fermentation.

Come February, we ask visitors to vote for their favourite with a commitment that the winner will be scaled up and released as a LTD EDN beer in can later that year. The can design itself is also quite enticing, with complementary shades of brown depicting an assortment of peanut butter cups.

There are ways to do this without leaving too much residual sweetness. Stay away from high-Lovibond crystal malts as they may contribute more sweetness than you might be looking for.” O.H.S.O.

Okay, I get it. This is a peanut butter beer. Still there should be something to contrast the primary flavor, especially given that the one note is a bit astringent. Perhaps there is some lactic sweetness showing up with warmth. Whatever sweetness there is comes far too late and is far too subtle. The finish is unpleasant and lingering, with roasted malt far out of balance.
