T-peanut butter, toasted bread, and some sweetness (jelly), not much else of note

F-light body with light carbonation, slick oily feel yet not a lot of body

I had this at Uncle Barry's during Philly Beer Week.

The beer comes in a dark brown.

The aroma has literally what the beer is supposed to be a perfect balance of roasted peanut and grape jelly. There are some other dark berries in there as well. It's a delicious and unique aroma.

As for the flavor, the jelly comes and then roasted peanut. It starts off with a huge grape jelly sweetness, then a gentle roasted malt and peanut roundness.

The body is medium and very drinkable.

This beer really surprises you. My mind blown by this beer. Heady as done that and maybe KBS, but this too. It's wild how complex this beer and really balances the flavors so perfectly. I'm not even a big fan of PB&J, but there's something about getting those flavors just rolling and bouncing all over your tongue.

Never tasted a beer like this at all. Mind blowing.

One of the best beers I've ever tasted, Period.

Taste is identical to the PB&J sandwich your mother used to pack in your school lunch.

Aroma is also of peanut and jelly.

Mouthfeel is creamy and delicious.

Overall, this is a fine American brown ale with delicious flavors and a distinct aroma that cannot be matched.

On-Tap at the Funky Buddha Lounge during their Buddha Goes Wild Night last week. Served in a 12oz Funky Buddha snifter.

A- Fairly dark in the lounge, but from what I can tell it appears to be a fairly dark Brown with a slight purplish hue to it. A thin layer of head forms that recedes at a moderate pace.

S- Wow this smells exactly like a PB&J sandwich, lots of peanut butter, bread crust, and Welch's Grape Jelly. Perfectly balanced, very aromatic, and extremely well executed for what they were going for.

T- Again tastes like the aroma with lots of peanut butter, Grape Jelly, and even a little bit of bread crust coming out. Well balanced, very flavorful, and quite tasty if you like peanut butter and jelly.

M- Medium bodied, easily drinkable, decent carbonation, fairly smooth.

O- I wouldn't say this was my favorite beer I've had or something that I would drink all the time, but definitely one of the more unique and enjoyable ones I've experienced. I think the execution on this was superb and they nailed the peanut butter and jelly smell/taste right to the tee. The best comparison I could make with this is with Jelly Belly jelly beans, it' amazing how they can make it taste so much like the real thing. I wouldn't say this beer is for everyone but I definitely recommend checking it out especially if you are looking for a unique interesting beer or you just like PB&J sandwiches.
