It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time

Met the brewer a couple of years ago (nicest guy ever). I wasn’t in the mood that day and stuck with something traditional, but he told me all the kids were raving about it. Now I see why, perfect balance between strawberry and PB. Neat.

I had a local PB&J stout and it was too sweet for me.

This one’s bordering on very sweet too. Does a good job of covering the alcohol. Gotta be in the mood;  I’m now in that mood. :-)x

I haven’t had a beer in 30 years, not going to start now, but I’d enjoy giving one of these the sniff test.

Just make yourself a PB&J . It’s that accurate.

I would be interested in trying that to try it, but I don’t find the idea all that appealing.

interesting - I’ve had a few peanut butter beers, (which really didn’t excite me - flavors seemed to clash,) but never a PB&J beer.  Do you get both the heavy/nuttiness and the acid/fruity?

Absolutely. At first there seems to be an artificial taste but then it becomes clear it’s just a lot of peanuts. Then the fruit comes in to balance . Really well done.

6.1% abv qualifies as “strong beer”?

Hmmm.

I guess in the  stout world.

I’ve had Canadian friends tell me that Canadian beers are stronger than American beers, regardless of alcohol content.

I couldn’t help it, I had to laugh in their faces (pre-COVID era, of course).

Is that the PB&J beer in the glass behind the can? Looks pretty dark. Did you find it cloying at all? Like overly filling?

Yep, alm ost black with a bit of a red tinge. Not too filling, took me a bit more than an hour to finish. Just right.

By the way, t otally respect your decision to not drink, for what ever reason.

Thank you. I gave up drinking right after I met my wife. She’d never drunk and when I had even one good drought from the top of a cold beer, I could feel the alcohol course through me and I’d not be myself any more and I only wanted to be me around her. So I just left it behind. (Drinking had  been problematic for me at times earlier on...) Believe it or not, I can get everything out of a beer now just by smelling it. I was stationed in Germany for four years and I loved the bier. Most of the beer over here, including many of the so called specialty beers, are totally ordinary. It’s a good thing I don’t drink because if I did, I’d be as fat as a hippopotamus and a drunken, blithering, embarrassing idiot, as opposed to a sober, blithering, embarrassing idiot. I’d also be making my own beer, or running with folks who did...

So that PB&J: not a beer you’d drink three or four of?

Well, “ for love” sounds like as good a reason as any to stop drinking. My longest relationship was with a sommelier, so there’s that. :-)x Thanks for sharing. This is good oppo.
