A full bodied porter that gets its dark luscious color from the generous use of roasted malts. We bring just enough hops to balance out the hefty malt backbone but leave the stars of the show to shine. You will get just the right amount of chocolate and peanut butter to question whether you’re drinking a glass of delicious suds or popping a peanut butter cup in your mouth.

12 ounce can from Super One Foods Superior, 6.27.21. Dark brown large frothy tan head good retention. Aroma of fake peanut butter, artificial chocolate. Gross. Taste is sweet chocolate, peanut butter. Better than the aroma thankfully. Thin. Meh.

12 oz. can purchased at Molly's Spirits in Lakeside, CO. Thanks G-unit! Pours a dark brown color with clear ruby highlights and a thick tan head with excellent retention. Great lacing. Strong peanut butter aroma. The peanut butter flavor is not as strong as the aroma, but it's still good. Not much chocolate flavor. The dark porter flavor comes through in the finish with a little bitterness. Creamy mouthfeel. Medium plus body.

Can pour into goblet from Total Wine & More, Brentwood. Appearance is dark mahogany-brown with decent sparkle, finger-width beige foamy head with fair retention and light lacing. Aroma is heavy peanut butter (peanut butter of the unsweetened variety--a little bitter), without much chocolate. Taste followed aroma, particularly with the unsweetened, bitter quality. Some mild roasted malt and mild chocolate creaminess in the background. Mouthfeel is thin bodied with smooth, velvety texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, the peanut butter drowns out the rest of the porter, which is a bit disappointing, and lends a dry/bitter quality.

The aromaz are absolutely massive peanut butter that's not quite natural and a little cocoa likewise. The flavors are like nose huge peanut butter with a bit of cocoa not bad carbonation but some lingering bitterness. Hint of Sweetness in there helps but the odd bitter artificial peanut butter thing doesn't really work.

Got in a trade with The-Adjunct-Hippie. 12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 1/30/2017. Pours nearly opaque dark brown/black color with a 2 finger dense and rocky light khaki head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big peanut butter, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, toffee, fudge, brown sugar, vanilla, graham cracker, toasted dark bread, herbal, light pepper, and roast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great complexity and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, peanut butter, chocolate, and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big peanut butter, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, toffee, fudge, brown sugar, vanilla, graham cracker, toasted dark bread, herbal, light pepper, and roast/toasted earthiness. Light-moderate herbal/spicy hop and roast bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of peanut butter, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, toffee, fudge, brown sugar, vanilla, graham cracker, toasted dark bread, herbal, pepper, and roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, peanut butter, chocolate, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a great roast/hop bitter/sweet balance, and zero acrid/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from hop/roast bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready, and lightly silky/sticky/chalky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 6.5%. Overall this is an excellent American porter! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, peanut butter, chocolate, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the modestly bitter/drying finish. Impressively rich malt complexity, with great PB/chocolate presence and balance. Pretty much identical to the imperial version, but this is a little more intense on roast/coffee notes and earthy hop presence. A really enjoyable offering.

Can from 7-11 Dark brown with ruby highlights and a decent sized tan head that persists. Huge peanut butter cup on the nose with a bit of earth at the edges. Flavor follows through but leaves a bit of sharp bitterness in the finish. Certainly tastes as advertised, tasty and interesting beer.
