Beer Advent 2024 Day 13: Choosy Mom by Black Hog Brewing

Thanks Scott for making me really contemplate who the hottest Pixar mom was.  That was totally the intent when I gave you the keys for the day...

And we're back to normal, low-brau humor with Day 13 which returns us to Stoutmas!  We've got Choosy Moms (3.95/90/3.72) from Black Hog brewing.  I tried to grab this beer for Day 18, but it was already purchased so our Omnipotent Beer Czar (the OBC, also known as Mrs. DMP) told me I was too late.  Once again, the OBC rides to the rescue!


So I'm a sucker for a big sweet stout.  When I saw that this was both infused with Peanut butter and aged in rum barrels I was ready for a sugar bomb, and after grilling some NY strips, I was ready for it!  I've got to say that the flavors here are a little muted, there are definite peanut notes, but I didn't get a ton of barrel.  Also, maybe Q.O.R.I.S. ruined me, but there wasn't a ton of body for an 11.5% stout.  This was enjoyable, but may have slightly lost the expectations game.  When I pass through CT for college trips next month, I may have to explore the Black Hog more (not the name of my sex tape btw...). Back tomorrow with Day 14!
