On tap at Great Notion - Ballard, pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma is ridiculously expressive on the maple syrup upfront, followed by gentler peanuts and vanilla, and a boatload of sugar. Flavour is like a dessert, with intense peanut and maple syrupy upfront, followed by intense sugars and light vanilla. No roast whatsoever — just carried by the sugar and adjuncts. Not my kind of impie or even pastry impie — made for idiots who don't really like beer. But it's still decent for what it is.

Dark brown, okay this is bitter with maple over top and a metric fucktonne of peanuts. Like it'�s so much it'�s almost chaotic.

Peanuts on the nose, big maple at first, though transcends into a creamy peanut butter as breathes it a bit. Vanilla beans and a slight chocolate flavor. Wonderful concoction.
