Well, it was certainly an unusual one, and a pretty strong one too at 8% but the alcohol was not over-powering. The peanut was very strong and lingering, but it paired fabulously with the sour fruits, I was worried that this might repeat on me throughout the night, but my fears were unwarranted. It was a little on the pricey side, but I think that is to be expected, but all in all not a bad beer at all.

Our overall rating: 3.5/ 5.0
