Undated can drunk 1/10/26, as pictured.
Smells like peanuts; real and pretty nicely-done. Not too much salt/roast/earth, etc...The stout base seems to be quite dark-fruited which contributes and almost jammy character, or grapey, if you will. Rich and seemingly not too sweet, and not boozey. Not a lot of complexity, but it's singular mission seems accomplished in the nose.
Roasty and lightly malty with some chewiness and sweetness to it, but not too much. Peanuts are evident and flavorful throughout. Unfortunately, the finish has a bitterness that could be alcohol or could be oil/fat from the peanut? If it's alcohol, it's not hot/sharp, but just sort of dulls the flavors and creates an abrupt finish to an otherwise shockingly well-done PB Stout. Not sure this has the flavor intensity of 10% abv, but the texture is balanced and it's not sweet and syrupy.
