Total Nut Job by Behemoth Brewing is a robust and flavorful porter that captivates the senses. This beer pours a deep, opaque black with a thick, creamy tan head that persists throughout the tasting. The aroma is an intense bouquet of roasted peanuts, peanut butter, chocolate, molasses, and subtle hints of vanilla. The peanut character is pronounced without being overpowering, creating a harmonious balance. On the palate, the Total Nut Job delivers a full-bodied experience. The initial burst of roasted peanuts and peanut butter is met with rich notes of dark chocolate, toffee, caramel, and a hint of burnt sugar. A subtle undercurrent of vanilla adds a touch of sweetness and complexity, resulting in a delectable and satisfying flavor profile.
