Roak’s BBA Peanut Butter Cup Devil Dog is a decadent evolution of the Oatmeal Stout, delivering an intense sensory experience driven by rich dark chocolate and creamy peanut butter. The high-gravity base, brewed with significant portions of oats for a velvety texture, is elevated by aging in single-use Bourbon barrels. Aromas of charred oak, vanilla, and roasted nuts lead into a palate of milk chocolate and salty-sweet peanut butter cups. The deep roasted malt profile provides notes of espresso and cocoa, while the barrel influence adds complexity through caramel and spirit warmth, finishing with a lingering, dessert-like richness.
Appearance.Opaque, deep ebony to jet black (40+ SRM). Thick, persistent mocha-colored head with dense lacing and slow-falling legs.
Aroma.High intensity; dominant notes of creamy peanut butter and milk chocolate. Supporting aromas of dark roasted coffee, vanilla bean, and toasted oak from the Bourbon barrels. Low dark fruit esters with a faint earthy hop background.
Taste.Initial rich sweetness of chocolate and peanut butter. Mid-palate reveals toasted oats, espresso, and caramelized sugar. The Bourbon barrel adds layers of vanilla and wood tannins. Bitterness is moderate but perceived as low due to the high residual sweetness and malt density. Finish is long, sweet, and nutty.
Mouthfeel.Full-bodied and viscous with a silky, oily texture from the oatmeal. Low to moderate carbonation. Noticeable, well-integrated alcohol warmth that enhances the barrel character without being harsh.
