Canned 11/2/18 (batch 5 I think?), drunk 11/25/18. Ebony with dark chocolate and deep magenta highlights. Clarity seems fairly high, but it's difficult to determine. Tan head atop is small, but shows good retention. Dark chocolate, treacle, caramel and an emerging ash/char component on the end, make for a rich, aromatic, seemingly balanced nose. The lactose is folded in with the malt and the adjuncts seem to be well-integrated, as well. There's a bit of nutty character but I wouldn't guess actual peanut butter. Lots of creamy vanilla, milk chocolate, moderate roast and light ash lie on the finish with no alcohol, flaw or heavy sugar. In the mouth it's a bit sweeter than the nose lets on. A big peanut-butter-and-jelly-like character is found immediately from the contribution of roasted barley, peanut butter, lactose and cacao. It's enjoyable and well-done, not artificial at all, with caramel, milk chocolate, creamy vanilla notes and light char emerging on the finish. Rich, soft and luxurious with low but engaging carbonation and no alcohol or flaw noted. Definitely a sipper and I was more than happy to be done with 16 ounces by the end of it. Sweetness started to become fatiguing by the end, though I think this is more a product of the style and not really a problem of attenuation or anything. Still, even given the style name, it's not an excuse to be too sweet and unbalanced. Probably best as a dessert sipper in the six to eight ounce range.

Thanks Virby44 for sharing the bottle! Poured into a snifter showing pitch black with thin coffee translucent rims and very sparse latte foam. The nose shows pronounced notes of peanuts with light notes of roasted malt and chestnut. The palate is oily thick bodied with smooth but well carbonated. Subtle sweetness with peanuts throughout and a moderately intense roasted coffee bitterness
