2018 bomber from Best Damn Beer Shop. Pours dark brn/blk with a creamy/foamy dark tan head. Aroma actually has peach - but that's strongly challenged by burnt malt and chocolate. Full bodied. Flavor is burnt malt and chocolate, but peach follows. There is a brandy aspect - beyond the peach aspect. Not dry but far from sticky. Burnt malt bitter. Heat is discernible. Good stuff.

2018. Bottle to tulip. Vanilla and slight heat aroma. Deep, deep brown with brown head that lingers as a collar. Baker's chocolate, chocolate powder. Moderate bitterness.

Sampled at Churchkey's Fifty Fifty event, looks like the others, tepid deep brown/black. Nose is crazy, wow, sweet peach rings, really peachy, bready. Just very very different than all these other treatments. Flavor is odd though, smoke, booze, peach schnapps, pumpernickel. Medium bodied finish. Quite different.

Poured from a 22 oz bottle. Aroma is nice and chocolate forward with lighter caramel, honey and roast notes. Medium light fruity notes of peach, raisin and prune. Light oak notes and a bit of char. Pours black with a medium large, thick, mocha head that recedes steadily to a small, creamy film that lingers for a bit on the edges. Light lacing and fairly long legs. Flavor is chocolate forward with medium light toast notes and light caramel and honey. Nice layers of chocolate with moderate bitterness. Medium light peach Brandy notes with hints of raisin and prune. Light oak notes and alcohol spice. Mouthfeel is full bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and medium light alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice stout. The peach brandy notes comes though nicely and add a bit of fruitiness. A little bit more alcohol heat than the other variants me
