Pint Bottle
At first I didn't really want to try this beer. I had tried a previous version of Rogue's Voodoo Doughnut Beer line (Maple Bacon Doughnut), and had absolutely hated it. Sounds good on paper, but was executed very poorly. But I was somehow convinced to give this one a try.
First thing I noticed was how incredibly dark this beer is. Even the head is on the darker side, about a quarter of an inch of brownish tan foam at the top. The beer smells very strongly of chocolate, peanut butter, and banana. Very strongly. Like beer shouldn't smell this strongly of that combination. At least it stays true to the label. First sip reveals much of the same: very strong chocolate taste, fading into the peanut butter and banana duo as an almost aftertaste (the chocolate comes on strong, but fades and lingers lightly to let the other two shine). No bitter hops. Very low carbonation, almost imperceptible. The beer goes down very smooth.
A decent novelty beer (in small quantities), and worth a shot if you like the flavor combination, but by no means a great beer. Rating is based heavily on how much I enjoyed the novelty of this beer. Not sure I could drink an entire bottle of it by myself though.
Overall Rating: 3/5
