In my opinion, it is a perfect porter of peanuts butter, a bit soapy at the final but it is a solid one, roasted malt, hop, like a poetry, tasting it at Prélaz, a long time ago.

Pours near black with a small off white head. It smells of dark roast malt, coffee, peanuts, and chocolate. The flavor has all of the above with the malty sweetness well balanced by hops and lingering roast. Very good.

Can from Charles Street Liquors, Boston, Massachusetts, USA. A very dark brown/black coloured pour with a thinnish beige head on top. Roasty, malty, peanut, chocolate taste/aroma. Quite savoury and rather artificial flavouring in this one. It's OK.

This review was imported from my RateBeer ratings.
12 oz. can, 6.2% ABV, CANNED ON: 03/31/23
AROMA: I'm first hit with moderately strong scents of peanut butter and chocolate. Which is then followed by mild scents of coffee . The aroma is very inviting and makes me want to dive right in!
APPEARANCE: Pours an opaque black with a thin, dirty tan head, that dissipates slowly and has minimal lacing. This is your classic porter look, but I do wish that there was more height to the head. I think that would make it more visually appealing.
TASTE: Moderately sweet with predominant flavors of peanut butter and chocolate, with a hint of coffee on the backend. I find the sweetness level to be perfect for this type of beer. It really helps to play up the peanut butter flavor, yet there's enough bitterness to remind you that you're drinking a beer and not a soft drink.
MOUTHFEEL: Full bodied with a creamy, smooth texture, and slightly below-average carbonation. The mouthfeel is definitely heavenly!
OVERALL: Other than the thin head, I really have nothing to complain about. The aroma, flavor, and texture are all outstanding! It's been quite a while since I've had a beer that excels in almost every single category. I'll definitely be buying more of this in the future!
