12 ounce bottle from Tavour. Opaque dark brown color topped by. Finger-high puffy tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate and a hint of peanuts. Flavor is big and boozy. Notes of dark chocolate, peanut butter and oak. Very smooth and flavorful. The peanut butter is subtle. Finishes with a big, bitter bang.

This will be my first Black Butte to rate in a few years, just have not seen one until I picked up XXXVI at Total Wine in Fort Worth last November. The 12 oz bottle, labeled as being packaged on June 5, 2024, is being opened before a pour into an ABGB snifter. It arrives so dark brown as it might as well be black and is finished by a small ring of light tan, very fine bubbles. The smell is grand, there is dark fruit, grain, chocolate and berries. I take a drink, well, I can say it has been worth the wait. Bakers chocolate, wheat bread, strawberries, malt, raisins, vanilla and earth. A good amount of bitterness too. Though all the Black Buttes have been similar to me, this could be the best one.
gave a cheers!

Bottle from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours dark brn/blk with a small creamy tan head. Aroma of chocolate, roast and peanut butter. Med plus body. Not dry, but not sticky. Heat is discernible. Bitter from roast I think. Chocolate is dark. Thankfully the PB is not oerwhelming.

12 oz bottle. Pours a dark brown with just a little head. Aromas of peanuts, cola, and soft roasted malts. Flavors of peanuts, bitter dark chocolate, bourbon alcohol, a bit of vanilla and roasted malts.

12 oz. bottle, pours black with a medium beige head. Aroma has plenty of peanut butter powder, cocoa powder, lactose, and a touch of oak barrel. Flavour is rich and cohesive, with lots of cocoa and lactose upfront, rounded by bourbon barrels, and then the peanut butter kicks in to add a nice element. Finishes somewhat bitter, but that helps keep the sweetness in check. If they used PB2 powder, it works well. Very nice.
