Draught. Dark brown with reddish tint, large beige creamy head, mocha aroma, dark chocolate taste, medium carbonation, long chocolatey finish. Feels like a chocolate frappucino with a bit of alcohol, but still nice.

Pours deep amber with thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up a mix of dark roasted malts, black strap molasses and then rolling into a pleasing and inviting level of peanut butter. Cool. The taste delivers some sweet molasses and black licorice initially. About midway a modest peanut butter note joins in and takes this into the finish. Pretty nice.

22oz bottle pours a translucent, chestnut brown with a very foamy, of white head. Nose is kind of weird, almost smells a touch infected. There are aromas of nuts, toasted bread, light chocolate, but also something cardboard, a bit stale. Flavor is better, dried chocolate powder, some nuts, a little malt, some very light molasses. Finish is medium bodied, lightly dry but a little watery. I think if they had kicked up the alcohol and improved the body this beer would have been a lot better. As is, it’s a little weak and over promises while it under delivers.
