COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Hold On To Sunshine is a rich and delicious stout intended to be savored and enjoyed as we enter the cool Autumn months here in New England. Brewed with Pale and Chocolate malts, Lactose, Coffee, Cacao, and Peanut Butter, it exhibits notes of rich milk chocolate, dark brown sugar, creamy espresso, and chocolate covered peanut butter cups. A luxurious mouthfeel and creamy body contribute to a beer that feels much bigger than it is - a decadent treat and one that won't overwhelm you with heaviness, yet is loaded with delicious bold flavors that express themselves as it warms. Life can come at us fast and hit us with unexpected hardship, inducing stress, fear, anger, confusion, sadness, and uncertainty. But together we must find solace and comfort in each other, and in something wonderful, equal, and free for everyone to hold on to - Sunshine. For Lauren.

juiceisloose (3665) - Windermere, Florida, USA - MAR 18, 2021
UPDATED: MAR 18, 2021 16 oz can. Pours nearly pitch black in color and capped by a small tan layer of foam that fades to a thin film. The aroma shows notes of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and peanut butter over a dark roasted malt base with some earthy bitterness and a touch of green pepper. The flavor follows with notes of dark chocolate, peanut butter, and roasted coffee up front to go with the roasted malts and a firm, roasted bitterness on the back end. Medium bodied and smooth with moderate carbonation that leads to a bitter sweet, dark chocolate, peanut butter, and earthy roasted coffee on the finish. Glad I finally got to try it and it has good peanut butter flavor but the coffee is very roasty with some vegetal notes. Pretty solid overall but not as great as I was hoping for.

jb (4388) - Rochester, New York, USA - NOV 4, 2020
UPDATED: NOV 4, 2020 Quite a bit of coffee in the nose. Appearance is quite black, with thin head and spotty lace, like a heavy Russian. Lots of peanut butter in the taste long with chocolate. Very rich. Thick mouthfeel. Sweet. It works, it would work even better if paired with a heavy chocolate dessert.
