All Hallows Treat Imperial Chocolate Peanut Butter Stout
Ommegang Brewery
A few years ago, I picked up a can of Ommegang All Hallow's Treat Imperial Chocolate Peanut Butter Stout. I loved the hell out of that beer, but for some reason I thought it was brewed by Allagash (not Ommegang), and you can see the results of that error in the photos below. I hadn't seen the beer for a while, but this year I did, and so I bought some, this time to be enjoyed from the correct glass.
Ingredients, from the website:
HOPS Saaz
FERMENTABLES 2-row, flaked oats and chocolate malt
Ommegang All Hallow's Treat Imperial Chocolate Peanut Butter Stout has an alcohol content of 7.6% by volume with 18 IBUs. My most recently purchased cans were stamped 17MAR2025 on the bottom.
My most recent can was, again, on Halloween night, this time of 2024. I enjoyed while watching my annual viewing of Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman, right after watching 1953's The War of The Worlds. I didn't take notes as I was focusing on the movie, but also because the notes I took a few years ago accurately describe the beer still. It really is a lot like a Reese's Peanut Butter cup in a glass, and I therefore find it the perfect beer for Halloween (or before or after for that matter), and I wouldn't at all mind Trick or Treating again as I did as a kid, if I could get my goodie bag filled up with these delicious treats.
About Ommegang Brewery
We open in winter 1997 with Ommegang Abbey Dubbel, an 8.5% ABV traditional Trappist-style dark ale. Brewed with a complex array of spices and packaged in 750ml bottles, Abbey breaks the mold of the emerging American craft beer scene.

Tasting Notes
Ommegang All Hallow's Treat Imperial Chocolate Peanut Butter Stout pours to a jet-black color with a thick creamy tan head and a nose of chocolate peanut butter cup. Taking a sip, the beer is medium in body and perhaps could use just a smidge more in that department. It is undeniably tasty though, smooth and chocolaty, milk chocolaty, then hits you with the peanut butter layer. At the last, the beer become quite bitter, like bittersweet chocolate. Tasty Halloween candy in a glass. Best By 012823.
Value & Verdict
I paid $16.49 for a 4-pack of pint cans at Total Wine most recently.
Truly, Halloween in a glass.
