About This Beer
Imagine a sumptuous slice of chocolate cake layered with ripples of gooey peanut butter, creamy Nutella, chocolate ganache, and topped with treacly caramel. Now imagine that same cake soaked in opulent bourbon and you have a decent idea what’s in store with this mouthwatering BA Pastry Stout!

Rich, nutty currents of creamy cocoa cascade into notes of roasty espresso, while woody spice rises on the end.

Decadent, bold, incredible stout with layers of brownie, hazelnut, caramel, and chocolate ganache and give a peanut butter exhale. Rich, delicious stout for dessert

pretty good, a bit too much of the bourbon burn + syrup aftertaste, but still very solid.

Great chocolate and caramel notes with light peanut butter undertones. Bourbon barrel aging blends in well with the stout base.

you can taste the flavors individually very well. But overall I wasn’t super fond of the flavor itself

I’ve had the original and this BA version blows it out of the water!
Caramel, hazelnut, and bourbon are front forward. Smooth chocolate and peanut butter on the backend.
Hints of coconut here and there also.
Stellar BA stout. Shoutout Hoppin’ Frog!

Smells like chocolate cake and tastes of triple chocolate with hint of hazelnut peanut butter and caramel

A lot going on here. I think this would’ve been so much better without the hazelnut but of course I’m still a sucker for this dessert and it’s Hoppin’ Frog. Amazing PB Cake nose. This is still good but just too many flavors competing amongst each other.

Excellent taste and smooth. Every flavor was present, least probably the caramel. Nose and taste was prominently chocolate.

Not a fan of BBA but all the flavors described were completely present and it was tasty. Definitely got the cake flavor with a bourbon burn aftertaste that wasn’t too strong. carbonated.

Good flavor, but the peanut butter and hazelnut are overwhelmed by the booze.

Holy moly. Nose is all peanut butter and hazelnut. Chocolate, oak, vanilla. Nothing out of place. Really well balanced

so incredibly thin for a barrel aged stout. peanut butter is definitely there but it tastes watered down because it’s so thin.

I mistakenly thought only Willie Wonka could cram so many distinct dessert flavors together in one beverage without muddling it up. I’m so glad I was wrong!
