All Hallows Treat (a beer) (October 20th, 2024)

Greetings and salutations,

I am a sucker for Halloween packaged things.  I'm even a bigger sucker for Halloween packaged beer.

Well, Brewery Ommegang, based in Coopertown, NY has released a wonderful beverage - "All Hallows Treat" - an Imperial Chocolate Peanut Butter Stout weighing in at 7.6% ABV.

From their website (here) "Sweet and spooky like the perfect Halloween night, All Hallows Treat rekindles your favorite childhood holiday memories. Aromas and flavors of dark chocolate, creamy peanut butter, and a soft vanilla finish swirl with a smooth body and medium mouthfeel. It’s the perfect throwback that brings you to your first bite of a chocolate peanut butter cup."

It pours an opaque black with ruby highlights and a small tan head.

The aroma is dark roasted malt and peanut butter cups. Faint chocolate.

The upfront taste is creamy peanut butter, vanilla and dark chocolate. Slightly sweet with a mild bitterness. Creamy smooth with decent carbonation.

A delicious dessert beer, the 7.6% ABV is a bit sneaky.  It doesn't drink like a higher ABV beverage.

I LOVE the art on the can.  This isn't my usual "NorCal Beer Blog" review.

If you see it, buy some.  Delicious!

Happy Haunting (and drinking),

Mark Harvey
