A Note on This Beer

When I heard Junkyard sent us a new batch of their Willett Barrel Aged King Size Imperial Peanut Stout (2020), my mouth started watering on behalf of dessert lovers everywhere.

The last time we managed to snag a few bottles, every last decadent drop disappeared into the Stout-esphere in less than 24 hours!

This time around, we have 50 cases to share. The luxurious, bourbon barrel-aged, dry-roasted peanut powerhouse comes in a whopping 750 ml bottle with a dangerously discreet 11.7% ABV to boot! 

To craft Barrel Aged King Size this time around, the dexterous brewers aged the entire batch in its freshest round of Willett bourbon barrels to-date.

The dreamy, dark-as-motor-oil result bursts with flavors of sweet leaf tobacco, top-shelf bourbon, and dried figs. 

On top of its barrel character, succulent waves of bakers chocolate and flakey Butterfinger candy bar flavors flirt with notes of vanilla bean. It tastes like a chocolate peanut butter torte with an oaky, boozy twist, topped with a pillowy-plop of homemade whipped cream. 

One thing’s for sure — this is the kind of treat Dark Beer lovers fiend for. Which means, it’s meant to be savored on a special occasion, with those who will appreciate it most! 

*This 2020 vintage is too new for ratings but last year’s edition earned a whopping 4.42 on Untappd! 

With Tavour, it's easy to beer it forward! Just head over to Tavour.com/gifts to send a gift box or gift card to the craft beer lover in your life. Cheers!

Excellent. Full of peanut butter, beautiful barrel aged aftertaste, nice and smooth, and a wonderfully high ABV. This is how you do a peanut butter stout.

The barrel is warm and pairs nicely with the gentle peanut. But I wish there was richness to this (it’s a bit thin) and more sweetness.

Smells like a Reese's. Like that the barrel isn't heavy in this and overpowering the beer. It has a distinct peanut butter flavor that isn't fake tasting.

This is a a really really good beer. Just the right amount of peanut butter on the nose and tongue. Good boozy flavors. You can almost taste the Willett... I wish I had another one to age for a few years. This is a must try for any barrel aged beer lover.

Heavy notes of peanut butter while the chocolate reveals itself once it gets a little warmer. The barrel is a bit lowkey, surprisingly smooth for a high abv stout, overall a good beer.

Absolutely stellar beer; roasted peanuts on the nose that rolls into classic stout chocolate on the front palate...then BAM Willett bourbon smoke and heat that just lingers and lingers.

The peanutiest peanut butter beer that I have ever had. It finishes with a subtle bourbon barrel heat, but unfortunately it is a little bitter.

I love a solid peanut butter stout...and I’m usually disappointed. This however is about as good as it gets. Nice n boozy...heavy sweet peanut butter, followed by chocolate. Perfect flavor compliment. Best Peanut Butter BA I’ve ever had. Job well done Junkyard! Thank you.

I love this brewery. I think that the high alcohol content took took some of the flavor away. I had high hopes that just weren't fulfilled. It is absolutely drinkable just not what I was expecting based on the other beers I have had from them.

Amazing stuff!! You get the Butterfinger like smell upon opening the bottle, when you drink, it's like a combination of Reeses Peanut Butter Cups and Chocolate Milk in a Stout body, with some boozy Bourbon Barreled goodness to give it some edge. The sugar content must be high on this one, because I got a massive headache from it for a half day afterwards. Hungover potential if you decide to be a dummy like me and drink the whole bottle yourself. But it's worth the discomfort.
