About This Beer

Lay a finger on Bart Simpson’s Butterfinger, and you might meet him in a dark alleyway. He’ll pull back his slingshot as he mumbles something about his shorts. Not even Duffman can save you now.

Thankfully there’s Listermann’s Don't Lay A Finger Imperial Pastry Stout. Legally, he can’t lay a finger on it, so you can have it all to yourself without Bartman having a cow!

Tasting Notes

The Cincinnati craft crew has added serious candy bar action to this highly rated Imperial. Bolstering its malty backbone are scoops of freshly roasted peanuts, ribbons of fudgy chocolate, and swirls of velvety vanilla. Continually adding these treats throughout the brewing process makes for one decadent Pastry Stout!

A bold, nutty aroma welcomes each sweet sip, revealing a peanut brittle flavor that plays foil to waves of chocolate. With vanilla tying these layers together, each gulp sweeps across your taste buds like a Butterfinger materializing on your tongue!

Whomever said “liquified butterfinger” has never had a butterfinger in their life

It had a nutty smell to it, but I did not taste peanut butter or Butterfingers necessarily (more of just a Nutty). It was very bitter. I have had some really good Stouts, but this not a favorite of mine.

Tasty, might be a bit candy heavy, but you sure can taste it.

This is incredible! It tastes like a butterfinger but also somehow isn’t too sweet. I wish I bought more!

Sometimes you try and it doesn’t work out. Not sure what the fuss is about. Peanut strong, bitter and chocolate but really not coherent. First beer from Tavour i have poured down the drain. :-(

Nice peanut butter aroma and flavor. Let it warm for best flavor. Nice and smooth, a little sweet.

Definitely a pastry stout, but one that is actually enjoyable and not overly sweet. The peanut butter and chocolate are up front and balanced well with the lactose sweetness.

Nobody better lay a finger on mine! Nice coffee, peanut butter, and chocolate flavoring. I’m surprised it isn’t a bit heavier of a stout.

This one was very potent. It had a strong peanut butter taste that almost punches you in the mouth. The smell is very pleasing. It has a light coffee note and the a maple syrup finish. I also got small notes of fruit but maybe it was just me.

The smoothness of this beer does not out do its alcohol strength, with that being said, heavy chocolate notes in the beginning and leaving a wonderful peanut taste at the end creating a butterfinger taste like no other. Very much enjoyed it.

WOW. This is an amazing stout! Not as sweet as I thought, which is even better. Big chocolate, vanilla, and peanut butter taste. Slightly bitter. F**king delicious.

I honestly could taste the butterfinger flavor. It was shocking I've never picked up on a flavor so well. It lingered and Ioved it!

Good beer. Would be higher if expectations were not for peanut butter/ butterfinger, which honestly did not get much of.

not bad, not great. get some butterfinger flavor, but only at the very tail end of the finish.

It's almost toothachingly sweet in a syrupy way, and it packs a boozier punch than I expected alongside it. At first I didn't enjoy it, but after letting it sit for 5-10 minutes, it got a lot more enjoyable. The aftertaste is actually a lot more pleasing than the immediate taste. Not my favorite pastry stout, but it's certainly far from the worst, and it has enough redeeming qualities!

Wow. Peanut. Roasty. Goodness. I enjoy sweet beer. This beer wasn't overly sweet. Did I mention the roasted peanuts?!

Was really looking forward to this one, but was let down. My can was a fairly flavorless dud. Hopefully I just got a bad can. Fair chocolate flavor, next to no peanut butter or anything else.

I was expecting more peanut butter. You can definitely taste roasted peanuts on the back end, but would have preferred more!
