Big Axe Stoutrageous Peanut Butter Stout.
6.8% ABV. 44 IBU. Big Axe Brewing, Nisswa, MN.
Strictly ebony hued, completely opaque, thin ring of a roasted brown head.
In the nose: There's the sweet, peanutty-ness right out of the gate. Chocolate lingers just below.
In the mouth: Chocolate and peanut butter are at it again, moderate bitterness is here for balance, too. Not too sweet, not too strong, not too anything. Medium bodied, long lasting flavors, subtle finish.
If you're looking for the most peanut butter, or the thickest stout, this will not qualify. But as it is, it's pretty damned tasty. There's something to be said for restraint.
