On tap at GABF 2012. Pours with a black hued body and a lasting tan head. Aromas are dusty, nutty, cocoa, lightly earthy with some distinct buttery notes. Flavors are dry and chocolatey with low roast, peanuts and almost a coconut note. Medium viscosity, off-dry.

22 ounce bottle. Opaque black color with a medium-sized rocky beige head. Aroma is chocolate, peanut butter and coffee. Rich bittersweet roasted malt flavor has notes of dark cocoa and peanuts. Creamy mouthfeel and rich stout flavor. Bitter hops come through at finish. Complex and unique.

Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark black color with a medium sized foamy darkish brown head that lingered and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was roasty malts, Baker’s chocolate, vanilla and a bit of peanut. The flavor was roasty and dryish with a faint nutty presence, moderate Baker’s chocolate, vanilla and hints of coffee and wood. Long dry and roasty finish with lingering nut and chocolate. Moderately full bodied and smooth. Interesting.

Dark with a brown head. Aroma is like cocoa puffs, light peanut butter, chocolate, light roasted malts. When I had a pint of this on draught the peanut butter was much stronger. This has been in a growler for about 10 days (sealed, refrigerated) and the peanut butter has faded while the cocoa puff aroma has really come on. Full bodied. Very tasty, but much like the aroma, the flavor has morphed from peanut butter to much more cocoa puffs. I liked the PB on the fresh version but must say that the cocoa puff flavor is quite enjoyable, too. Fun beer.

Bomber shared by Matt at the 17th Richmond Ratebeer Gathering, 1/28/12. Pours a pitch black color with a medium frothy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of peanut butter, popcorn and cocoa powder. The taste is peanuts, peanut butter, sugar, chocolate and a hoppy finish. Medium-full bodied with soft carbonation. Interesting.
