On tap at DownTime Taps, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is full of rich peanut butter cups, chocolate, soft bourbon, roasted peanuts, and a touch of vanilla I guess. Flavour is very rich and dessert-like without being too sweet: there’s lots of peanut butter, chocolate, dark sugars, some marshmallow, and then some bourbon barrel presence. Pastrified deliciousness that’s balanced and complex without being cloying. Tasty.

Dark brown. Peanut butter and oreos, together with Matryoshka at last. It tastes exactly as you think it woukd, if you have experience with Matryoshka variants.

Pour at Festival of Dark Arts. Black pour, beige head, etc. Aroma is a dessert-y mess, and the taste doesn't too much else to fix it. For me, there was a bit too much going on. Drinkable and kind of enjoyable, but far too many adjuncts for me.
