DuClaw Sweet Baby Jesus!

12 oz. Bottle

Was recommended this by my friend Nick.

Pours a very dark brown. What little head existed from the pour is now completely absent form the top of the beer (about 5 seconds after the pour). Smells like a Reese's peanut butter cup. Exactly like a Reese's peanut butter cup.

Peanut butter and chocolate on the taste (though not as strong as I would have liked), complimented by some nice roasted malts; based on the smell, exactly what I expected. Nice dark porter flavor.

The only downside to the taste is how light the beer seems on the palate - I wish it had some thickness, almost a syrupy quality to it - this in turn would most likely allow the chocolate and peanut butter flavors to be more prominent. Pretty high carbonation for this style as well; I feel this detracts from the overall experience a little bit.

The alcohol content of 6.5% is incredibly well hidden.

An overall enjoyable beer - really just a nicely made porter with chocolate and peanut butter undertones in the end.

Overall Rating: 3.9/5
