Bottle via trade, thanks Arturo, shared in Niamey, craft beer tasting club. Brune foncée, col épais café au lait, le tout sur un filament huileux doré au verre. Fine pointe de cannelle en rétro-nasal. Arôme au nez marqué de beurre de cacahuètes/extraits de, malté cacao/chocolat, bouquet de Templeton Rye whisky apportant de fines effluves de vanille. Palais est épais, slow sipper, chocolaté, beurre de cacahuète plaisant, barrique ressort bien, petite touche de cannelle qui apporte une note épicée. Petite amertume en fin de bouche venant du boisé/whiskey avec une petite note de vanille qui arrive en retrait.

On tap at The Growler Guys, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma is loaded with spicy Mexican chocolate, with a bit subtler peanut butter, and some bourbon barrels. Flavour is intense, with spicy Mexican chocolate, peanut butter, and bourbon barrels. Chocolatey and peanut buttery, with a nice barrel character. Lovely.

Tasting at Oakes' Manor
Black colour. Woah! That aroma… like a chocolate peanut bar, fudge, almonds; very strong, unique. Sweetest beer, full bodied, chocolate, peanut butter, nuts, touch of mint, and maybe whiskey, but it's so sweet that the booze is completely hidden; low bitterness, so don't look for any balance here.
Love or hate beer; I do like it.

Dark brown. Thin head. On the aroma, cinnamon, peanut butter, chocolate, cloves, touch of coffee, some mapley, sugary barrel notes. Wow. Sweet, rich chocolatey stout with peanut butter and cinnamon. Just as a starting point, the flavours are balanced, the base beer just big enough, and then it has a nice chocolate as well. Oh man. Rounded, woody notes, too? Hell yeah. I'm all about this.

22 oz. bottle purchased at Total Wine & More, Phoenix Arizona. Pitch black color, thin flash dying tan head. Aroma is completely fantastic! Natural peanuts, chocolate, and a very light whiskey. The flavor follows with the peanut butter being slightly more subdued. Pepper are mild. Alcohol is covered. The barrel is mild. The body doesn't feel as thick as the barrel aged Horchata stout but this is still really nice.
