Can. Nose is peanut, peanut butter, vanilla, almonds, candy sugar, milk chocolate. Pronounced and very synthetic. Taste is peanut butter, marshmallow, chocolate, slight bitter chocolate, lactose, praline, vanilla, hint of liquorice and roast coffee bean stop it being too cloying. It tastes far better than it smells.

330ml can. Pitch black with a small tan head. Aroma of chocolate biscuits and peanut butter. Taste is sweet, chocolate biscuits, peanut butter, lactose/vanilla, bit of booze. Full bodied, thick, creamy smooth. Fantastic pastry stout and like YB and Anniversary Coward it's especially impressive for not using the actual adjuncts. Not wowing me as much as Anniversary did but I've probably just been spoiled since then.

Can at home picked up from Buxton online. A thick jet black coloured pour with a lasting lasting mid tan creamy head. Aroma is nice big sweet, maple, praline, sticky brown sugars, peanut butter. Flavour is composed of rounded sticky malts, brown sugars, peanut butter, marshmallow, mellow roasty finish. Palate is very sweet, smooth, sticky, oily, Xolid pasty. Nice bitter roast finish balances it out.

Can at home, from HOTM online, 10/02/21. Pitch black with a decent tan cap that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is sweet malts, chocolate peanut butter meltdown, brown sugars, toffee fudge, light roast. Taste comprises Reeses Pieces, chocolate melt, sweet malts, toffee cup, peanut butter splatter, light roast, pinch of spice. Full bodied, fine massaging carbonation with an oily lilt, warming alcohol fuelled rise at the curtain call. Solid pastry affair ... picks out the flavours listed well and doesn't go silly sweet.

Can. Buxton online shop. Deep chestnut brown. Thin and dense, lasting, lacing, tan head. Looks good. Nose has Reese’s Peanut Butter chocolate. And that’s about it, to be honest. Maybe a touch of beer like dark fruit and grain. But, you know what you’re getting here. Taste is surprisingly low on the sweetness, coming across dry, and pretty bitter. Smooth mouthfeel. Slick and rich. Fine carbonation. Proper roast malt bitterness to finish. Caned it.
