Pulled out of the cellar. Peanut butter settled to the bottom. Dark brown almost black in color with no head. Aroma was chocolate, peanut butter and burnt toast. Taste was also chocolate, peanut butter and burnt toast.

Black with a small dark brown head that faded quickly. Strong peanut butter, light cocoa, whiskey and a hint of dark fruit. Long finish. Medium body.

12oz bottle from Brewers Haven. Black pour, a few bubbles then flat. Aroma is chocolate with light roast and hint of peanut. Peanut butter remains in the background in the taste, which is mostly cocoa and roasty malts. Sweet, a bit thin, and not overly warm for a 10% beer.

Mild on the peanut butter and chocolate but pretty good bourbon upfront, well done for the price!

Pours black with an aroma of peanut butter, chocolate, and malt. The flavor is sweet with lots of peanut butter and chocolate. This is basically dessert. Full bodied. The bourbon is more subtle. Very good.

12 oz bottle. Pours black with a fizzy light tan head that rapidly diminishes. Strong peanut butter aroma, some chocolate syrup and bourbon. Flavor is strong on peanut butter and cocoa with the bourbon working in some as well. Very good, but I think I could use a bit less peanut butter.

Bottle from Busch's. Pours a pitch black with a small bit of brown head that dissipates. Warming alcohol, and cocoa powder on the nose. As it warms up some milk sweetness. Bourbon, chocolate and faint peanut butter on the finish. Not bad.
