    That's a bit of a damp squib then. I'd have preferred the peanut butter stout. Can't see how either could be considered 'sexy' though. :o

    You reckon? Ive a few bottles of 200 fathoms but still have yet to try it. Excited to try it on draught for my first experience.

    Eh... I basically said it was 200 fathoms several times without saying it directly. I only said it wouldn't be on cask, which it isn't.

    2/3rds of a pint. It was delicious, if spendy.

    That's a little bit of a L'oreal statistic...

    They use a Baynesian formula for the voting, similar to IMDB

    The Rogue Voodoo Donut ale, which has a strong peanut butter element, was very artificial in taste. Hopefully this stout will be a better effort.

    Didnt try it but i imagine a stout lends itself better to peanut tastes

    Ive had a taste from the conditioning tank. It leaves a salty coating on your mouth that doesnt hit for a bit after swallowing. That might change with time & carbonation though. Ive never had a peanut butter stout so am intrigued by it.

    Brewdog beers in general are expensive in keg. Either brewdog or four corners are the cause of that.

    Seaneh wrote: »
    That would be something to take up with either McCambridges or Noreast, that's outrageous over charging! Like I said, €5.70 is the normal price in most offies


    I agree with these points. Brewdog are expensive and some businesses do over charge. Why can the same not be uttered about GBB bars? Without the response, no one is forcing you to go there. I enjoy going to GBB bars because they are nice pubs, great staff in the one I frequent and best selection of beers. I don't really see direct alternatives. I often do think, this beer hobby of mine is getting expensive and often wonder, am I being ripped off a little? But I don't know the answer to that. Lately I tend to pop into JW Sweetmans a bit more often for a more affordable Irish craft beer.

    I think I pay the extra in gbb because I love the pub/selection and especially the "oohh what's new on tap today" which I won't get as much in Sweetmans... . Not sure it equates to be ripped off though... Maybe using their unique selling point to charge a premium? Business I spose.

    I judged a peanut butter and raspberry stout during the NHC competition earlier this year. It smelled like a peanut better and jelly sandwich and tasted like a Reese's peanut butter cup.

    Interesting but I'm not sure how much I could drink of it. As a one off batch it will be fun though.

    I think those types of beers are to the beer world what dessert wines are to the wine world.

    You haven't drunk enough dessert wine.
    Hugely unfair to compare something as complex and wonderful as a good Tokaji, an Eiswein or a Black Muscat to gimmicky marshmallow or peanut butter beer.
    I don't have a sweet tooth but the occasional drop of very good dessert wine is a thing to behold. They can age extremely well too.
