On tap as part of a flight at the brewery. Appearance is dark, dark brown--virtually opaque--with light sparkle, thin cap of off-white head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is strong roasted peanuts and malt. Taste is strong peanuts and lactose (sweetness kind of detracts). Mouthfeel is medium bodied with smooth, thick, frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, the lactose is too apparent and takes over. I wish taste mirrored aroma.
