Pours a black from a can, off-white head with some lacing. Aroma of coffee and well-roasted peanuts. Flavor is a bitter peanut butter wandering behind some sweet cola. Okay beer.

Got in a BIF from tasterschoice62. 12 ounce can into pint glass, no can dating. Pours nearly opaque dark brown/black color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy tan head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of milk chocolate, cocoa, peanut butter, caramel, toasted dark bread, light coffee, light dark fruits, herbal, floral, and roast/toasted earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malt, peanut butter, and light earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, peanut butter, caramel, toasted dark bread, light coffee, herbal, floral, and roast/toasted earthiness. Light-moderate herbal/roasted bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, peanut butter, caramel, toasted dark bread, light coffee, and roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, peanut butter, and light earthy hop flavors; with a great roasted bitter/sweet balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light dryness from hop/roasted bitterness as well. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready, and lightly sticky/chalky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very nice peanut butter American porter. All around good complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, peanut butter, and light earthy hop flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

Pour from can into 4 oz taster. Aroma is roasted malt with peanuts. Appearance is virtually opaque black with 1/2 finger-width orangey-brown head with poor retention and no lacing. Taste is moderately sweet malt with peanut taste. Palate is medium bodied with average texture and soft carbonation, finish is sweet with peanuts. Overall, this is nice and, while I appreciate that the peanut butter taste is somewhat restrained, so is the roasted malt. Nice if you want a less heavy Porter, but both could have been a bit ramped up, while maintaining the balance and been truly fantastic.

This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a dark brown close to black color with a slim finger’s worth of tan head. Stringy lacing clings and then slides into the beer at an adequate pace.
The smell had some roasted peanut blending with a subtle roasty coffee bean underneath.
The taste was dry and roasty with a subtle sweetness from the roasted peanut. There’s a light roasty peanut to coffee aftertaste leading into the finish.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a nice sessionable feel about it. Carbonation felt right for a porter but with the roasty portion and peanut there’s a certain dryness clinging to my tongue.
Overall, not sure why but I finally finished the rest of them off and to me, I find that its more peanut than peanut butter. Still, a nice offering from Foolproof that I would have again.

Can, served at 45F in stemware. pours a dark reddish brown with a short 1 finger head that fades fast. light chocolate, espresso and peanut butter aroma but nothing enticing. good creamy mouthfeel, light peanut, walnut, pistachio taste but mostly a chocolate taste with licorice.

12 oz. can from a four pack purchased at Merrimac Liquors. Aroma displays the peanut butter more so then the flavor. Notes of coffee grinds and roasted malts.
The texture is dry and roasty with the same notes of coffee and the most subtle hints of peanut butter. Honesty even when warm the only reason I could pickup the peanut butter is because I knew it was here and it was noticeable in the aroma. The base Porter is pretty good and I always enjoy it when I sample it.
