About this beer
This is the 82nd of 148 labels we have from Great Notion Brewing & Barrel House. It is one of 21 pastry stout labels approved in July 2026. Its label was approved 1 day after it was submitted. The label carries imperial on the front.
Two crowned rats face each other across a wooden table laden with peanut butter jars and a peanut, their tails intertwined below in an ornamental knot; both wear radiating crowns rendered in gold and coral tones. The illustration dominates the front label in a comic-inked style with heavy line work and hand-drawn detailing, set against black. The beer name appears in white condensed sans-serif capitals across the top and down the right edge in script; beneath the central image sits the style description in smaller capitals.
