330 ml can. Pours black with short tan head. Tons of peanuts in the aromas with vanilla and slick roasted malts in the background. Flavors of stale dry peanuts, chocolate icing, vanilla, and subtle roasted malts. Overly sweet with too much peanuts.

28/VII/21 - on tap @ Bar Beenhouwer (Gent), BB: n/a (2021-685)

Pretty clear dark brown to black beer, small creamy beige head, unstable, falls down quickly. Aroma: wow, lovely, lots of chocolate, peanut, lots of peanut, alcohol, sweet impression, lovely, reminds me a lot of yellow belly. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: surprisingly sourish start, that’s unexpected and weird, some red fruits, good roast, bit dry, lots and lots of peanut, very nice, highly drinkable. Aftertaste: more roast, sourish, some strawberry jam, quite a lot of dark chocolate, more peanut, red currants, coffee notes, pretty sourish but sugary sweet as well in the finish, very well balanced and interesting!

Half rim of brown bubbles over brown-black beer, utterly still. Sweet-oily nose, chocolate cookies (made with) arachide oil/fat, peanut butter indeed, with some faint sulphury hints. Sweet, again chocolate cookies from the cheap supermarket, but with a (short) marked dry bitter-roast finish. Retronasal quite some liquorice, finally turning into cocos and near-rancid hazelnuts. Unpleasant oily-fatty feeling, liquid being devoid of any carbonation. Peanut butter? Cheesecake?? Seriously??? This is supposed to be beer - Imperial Stout, at that. This is the Imperial Buffoon, not the Czar. Ouch!

Dark brown colour, almost black, minimal head that disappears quickly. Aroma is intensive wafer and roasted peanuts, also cheesecake, sunflower, toffee, some warming alcohol, a bit of ash. Medium sweetness, light bitterness. Creamy texture, soft carbonation. Very good!

One of several new collabs between Polish Maltgarden and Antwerp's Galea, bottle from The Beer Shop. I was looking forward to try this one after Dessert Vibes, the cinnamon-flavoured pastry stout in this collab series, made a lasting impression on me. Mousy, initially very large-bubbled, pale brownish-beige, open head, settling into a thin but stable ring and some flat patches in the middle; black robe with thin mahogany edge. Intense aroma of granola with chocolate chips and 'Brésilienne', fudge, burnt currants, peanut butter indeed but less strong than the granola effect, latté machiato, cognac, hazelnut purée, raisins, freshly baked brown bread, cinnamon, nougat, almond, black pepper. Sweet onset with a light sourish edge, hints of dried figs, blackberry jam and candied dates, softly carbonated, oily and slightly syrupy mouthfeel but notably 'thinner' than in Dessert Vibes and not quite feeling like an 11% ABV beer; very Brésilienne-, hazelnut- and granola-like lacing on a brown-bready, chocolatey and toffeeish maltiness, light bitterish roastiness in the end (cappuccino) but remaining subtle enough as to not disturb the overall desserty, cookie-like sweetness of the beer. The finish adds some cinnamon and nutmeg hints and warming, brandy-ish alcohol, but that hazelnutty, granola- and Brésilienne-like main flavour stands firm till the last drop. Not quite 'cheesecakey' (less so than e.g. the conceptually comparable Anagram made by Omnipollo at Dugges, for instance) and less 'peanut-buttery' than some other peanut butter stouts I had in the past, but that doesn't seem to matter much in this case: the 'dessert'-, cookie- and granola-effect is spot on, very intense and concentrated without any unnecessary or undesirable side flavours to distract from it, so mission still accomplished as far as I am concerned.

3 glasses draft @ Beerlovers Bar during brewery tap takeover. Black with a mocha head. Nose is massively sweet peanut butter, smooth and cake, sugar. Taste is that of chocolate, peanut butter massive, ice-cream cake, sugar, low lactose, very sweet but in a good way, depth, extreme pasty. Awesome if you love pastry stouts. Superb in general & in style.
