Year of New Beer: OooohWee! Can Do!, Mirror Twin Brewing (Lexington)

The nose on this beer is awesome...chocolate leading the way, with a subtle peanut husk that gets a little more intense with warmth. I don't get much vanilla on the aroma, but I don't think it needs it. On the tongue, a silky milk chocolate is again the featured player, but the peanut butter gives a rich, earthy tone. The vanilla is restrained, but it offers a creamy sweetness against roasted malts and a persistent nuttiness. I rarely stray from the hazy IPAs when I come to Mirror Twin, but I'm glad I made an exception today. Peanut butter is not the easiest ingredient to get right in a beer, but this one has it nailed. One of my personal favorites from these guys. Excellent work.
