Bottle. Pours inky black, small brown head, decent lacing. Aroma is heavy peanut, cocoa, bourbon. Flavor follows, quite sweet, light plus bitter. Heavy peanut. Full body, silky mouthfeel.

Bottle pour courtesy of Chalumeaux--thanks for the opportunity! Opaque, inky black with nice viscosity, no head/lacing. Aroma is strong peanut/shell (not peanut butter!), light milk chocolate. Taste is strong peanut/shell, bourbon, late milk chocolate. Smooth, creamy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Alcohol hidden well. Special in that it conjures up ACTUAL peanuts, not peanut butter. Bourbon doesn't dominate but complements well!

500 ml bottle. 2023 vintage from the Catador Club! Aroma is boiled peanuts with a mild chocolate. Aroma is like walking i to the Texas Roadhouse! Flavor shows the bourbon that does linger throughout the sip. Hints of chocolate. But make no mistake, this is about the peanut. Awesome!
