Bottle: Poured a black color stout with a super large brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of peanut and chocolate is interesting, but some light sour notes are kind of off balance. Taste is mix of peanut and sweet chocolate notes with some light sour and acidic notes, which seems to indicate beer may have turned. Body is light with very strong carbonation and almost gushing when I opened the bottle. It could been an enjoyable beer but it appears the beer turned and the acidic notes ruined the drinkability.

(500ml bottle from the brewery webshop) Notes of thick sweet chocolate and dark caramel/toffee malts with moderate roast form a base for fairly prominent peanut notes and a soft saltiness that partly balances the sugary attack into the finish, which is still fairly sweet but with light roast bitterness and some nutty toast. A little alcohol warmth. Medium bodied despite a thick sediment load, with quite soft carbonation. The peanut is the focus here and is rendered pretty well but the overall body and flavour concentration remains a bit lacking. Decent pastry stout by Toronto standards.
