Deep dark brown coloured body with a nice, one to two centimetre tall light brown head with a creamy glow, but a nice opaque body underneath. Aroma of peanuts, earth, toffee, caramelised sugars, a good deal of molasses and a light lactose and creaminess, but a big maltiness and a good deal of spice as well, in the nose at least. Medium-bodied; A strong earthy and nutty flavour dominates here with a light malty profile with some subdued caramelised sugars and lactose, with a small vanilla element and a dry caster sugar and a big peanutty and earthy bite that persists, especially at the end. Aftertaste shows the malts, a lot of cream, lactose and milkiness, but the chocolate, peanut butter and especially spice flavours punch through with a good deal of malts, but nothing too big-bodied. Overall, a nice and robust beer that has a good profile, a nice start and scmell, but a bit thin bodied, which makes it easy-drinking, but a bit lacklustre in terms of complexity. I sampled this stubby, twelve ounce bottle purchased from Russ's Market in Lincoln, Nebraska on 24-August-2021 for US$1,67 sampled in my hotel room here in [downtown] Omaha, Nebraska on 26-August-2021.

From a 12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear deep cola brown with a nice tan head. Aromas of ashtray and burnt toast. Flavors are moderately sweet malt with just a touch of hop bitterness.

Draft sample at the source. Darker brown with tons of tan head, lots of lacing and light carbonation. Aroma of roasted malts, weak cocoa and caramel. When it comes to taste it actually feels real watery, caramel sweetness and malts. It’s an OK beer but great for the style.

Bottle. A- Chocolate cake, cocoa, malty, slight smoke. A- Brown color, dark liquid, minimal head. T- Watery, chocolate cake, roasty, malty. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, roasty finish. O- I read that Lucky Bucket hasn’t released a new beer in over 2 years to focus on making this one as a year around offering. If that’s the case, they need to spend another 2 years on it. It is horrible? No, but it’s an unusual beer that is just not that awesome either. Tastes like a water soaked chocolate cake with a weird roasted spiced after taste.
