Pours black into a snifter. Mocha head with little retention recedes to pool surface. Peanut butter and mocha aromas. Thin and sweet with peanut butter, espresso and milk chocolate turning to chocolate covered macadamia nut before the chalky over-roasted espresso finish.

Canned 11/20/24, drunk 3/6/25.
Probably clear, hard to tell. Dark. Burgundy edges. Tan head fizzles steadily away within 10 seconds.
I held on to this as long as I could stand it but I want to try it, so with about 3.5 months on it, here goes...rich, roasty, crunchy peanut butter is pleasant, maybe not so much more intense or aromatic than the base version, though. But clean, with no excess sugar or lactose impressions. Some prune-and-grape-like acidity on the very end easily balances. No booze noted.
Rich, soft, somewhat sweet, though far from problematically so. Not syrupy and with an abundant acidity that seems to suggest prune, raisin and concord grape. Peanut butter is savory, clean and well-presented. Yeah, this is nice stuff and not too sweet which is the important part. A good amount of flavor and body for its size without being overdone in any one category. If there's any complaint I have, maybe the complexity is a bit lacking, but I don't think that's something this beer is really trying to highlight. I don't know, there's still just missing here and I can't quite put my finger on it.

6 oz. pour on tap at Eli Cannon's. Opaque black w/ring of head & no lacing. Aroma is strong roasted malt, PB, vanilla, chocolate. Taste is strong roasted malt, alcohol presence, PB. Smooth texture, soft carbonation & finish as taste. Doesn't add too much to regular Gunner's Daughter except added alcohol.
