Black with a thin dark head. Peanut butter, vanilla, coffee, lightly roasted malt, chocolate. Very sweet. Syrupy thick and smooth. Finish is slightly nutty and sweet. Very nice.

Almost black colour, medium sized creamy beige head; aroma of coffee, milk chocolate, some vanillin sugar and candied walnut or pecan; taste is a bit less 'full' but has the same notes; ok, this beer has one of the best aromas of my 'beer life' - if it had the same intensity in the taste it would definitely be one of the best beer I've ever tasted; anyway it is still a miracle! Many thanks, kapusil

0.65l bottle. Black body with a thin beige head. The aroma is really intensive. Lots of coffee, caramel, vanilla, pecan and milk chocolate going on here. Based on the aroma I'd expect a syrupy sweet beer but it's not. A hint of caramel is present, but coffee dominates with toast, dates, milk chocolste, nuts and floral hops. Not a typical porter but it's great as it is.

Pretty darn delicious porter, rich and layered without crossing the line into stout territory, decadent without being overly sweet. Heavy doses of chocolate and peanut butter make up the backbone, yet the expected accompanying sweetness never arrives, instead developing a mildly acidic coffee back end mixed with hints of caramel, currant, and almond. More coffee acidity on the fade, along with bitter roasted malt and peanut butter. Pours a deep dark brown with a thin beige cap and modest lacing. Oodles of peanut butter and chocolate wafting from the nose. Body verges on thin, but, then again, it's a porter, not a stout. (I know feel has nothing to do with the porter/stout argument, but let's just pretend, okay?) Very good beer.

On nitro at the Hoppin’ Frog Tasting Room. Poured a nearly pitch black color with a small brown head. Aroma was lots of coffee, peanut character is there, most definitely. Flavor was coffee, peanut butter. Bitter, but still smooth. Tasty.

Can from Craft Brewed. Pours a pitch black with a finger of beige head that lingers. Big peanut butter forward nose. Light chocolate. Dry peanut butter, some cacao. Don’t really get any coffee. Just a peanut butter bomb. Kind of underwhelming and overpriced. --- Beer aliased from original tick of Infusion A: Peanut Butter Chocolate Coffee Porter on 15 Oct 2017 at 19:43 - Score: 7.

Small brown head doesn't last. Opaque black body. Syrupy toffee aroma with coffee and chocolate notes. Very nice in some ways, but also reminiscent of a too-sweet artificial coffee drink. Sweet powdery coffee taste with fruity notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, mealy, low carbonation mouthfeel. Sweet powdery syrupy chocolate aftertaste with vanilla and coffee notes. It's OK, but a little too sweet and artificial for me. (0.65l bottle, from Kihoskh, Copenhagen.)

Vom Fass im Muted Horn Berlin 2017-10 getrunken. Oh was ist das? Dieses Peanutbutter steigert sich bis zu einem sehr unharmonischen Höhepunkt. Weniger wäre hier mehr. So riecht diese Bier wie kalter Kaffee, das man in einen verschwitzen Sportschuh gekippt hat. Definitiv ist das zuviel! Am Gaumen wirkt das Bier dann doch sehr dünn. Zum Glück drängen sich dadurch auch die unangenehmen Noten nicht auf. Es ist noch gerade so trinkbar. Schade eigentlich!

Definetly outpunches its weight class like Mayfield. Coffee, dark chocolate and roast. Velvet texture. Black pour with good head. Caramel. Bittersweet.
