Dark brown color. Strong aroma of chocolate and hazelnut. Robust dark caramel flavor, some dark chocolate, roasted nuts. A bit ashy in the final.
Not bad.

Dark brown. Not much head. On the nose, this has a lot of coffee, and yeah, peanut butter...really quite nutty. Lots of peanut butter, and then there's some chocolate. Thin. Odd...flavoured beer but without the richness that a lot of these types of beers have. I think with the coffee is the good element, that peanut butter stuff I'm not digging that.

Bottle - Peanut butter and light chocolate. Jet brown with a small beige head. Peanut butter and an odd bitterness in the finish. No Java here.

12 oz. bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is loaded with peanut butter, followed by dark cocoa and coffee. Flavour is loaded with roasted peanuts upfront, with coffee and a touch of dark cocoa. Really nice roasted peanut character. Light on the palate, but nicely constructed. Good stuff.

355ml bottle. Pours a clear ruby-brown with a large, creamy, long lasting, tan head that leaves curtains of lace. Sweet aroma of peanut butter, roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee , caramel and vanilla. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, peanut butter, dark chocolate, caramel and vanilla with a dry, bitter coffee finish. Medium body with a creamy, smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. As good but not better than the original. The espresso was very subtle.
