Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a three finger khaki foamy head which slid off fairly quick, some light lace
Aroma: roasty stout qualities start and end up opening up a bit more with some peanut butter
Flavor: starts roasty and like the aroma the peanut butter sweet and salty tones allow the beer to balance pretty nicely; mild aftertaste of peanut butter and roastiness
Texture: light to medium bodied, between being sessionable and being a sipper, seemed a bit lower carbed than expected but not a huge flaw, finishes more like peanuts and roastiness
Overall: for the most part, this isn't a bad beer, but for actual "peanut butter cup" I would have liked some milk or dark chocolate in this, maybe again, and somehow I think Rock Art will eventually get this more balanced with the chocolate.

Can to becher pint glass.
Appearance: ruddy amber to almost brown color with a two and a half fingers of eggshell white foamy head which slid off delicately to leave some light messy lace.
Aroma: semi-sweet nuts, smooth roast, sweet bready character, light baker's chocolate
Flavor: nice Bock-like malty sweetness, mellow bready aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, smooth along my tongue, finishes semi-crisp and nutty
Overall: I'd say a good Bock lager worthy of having again.

Can to nonic pint glass.
Appearance: ruddy dark amber close to brown color with a two finger white foamy head with some bubbles in the foam. Dissipated nicely to leave some messy sliding lace.
Aroma: lots of nuts, roasted caramel/toffee malts, sweet earthiness and a touch of cocoa powder
Flavor: fairly sweet blending the prior mentioned aromas; semi-sweet to nutty aftertaste
Texture: light bodied - perhaps got a little closer to being medium but mostly stayed under, fairly sessionable, slightly smooth, finishes crisp and nutty
Overall: I say it works as an English brown ale, I could come back to this.

16oz can (spokes puppy Roger on the label). Light haze over a gold body. Fluffy white head. Nose has herbs and grasses, light malt, light citrus. Doesn't really read haze. Flavor is fine. Citrus and soap, honey and malt. Its a bit pithy and feels a touch dated. Some paper on the end.

16 oz. shared by Clarkvv. Aroma shows a lot of PNW hops. Pine, herb, and weak chocolate. This stouts tastes like it is the year 2009. The awesome Angels Envoy is lost in a ton of pine like hops.

Can (6/6/23) shared by ClarkVV--thanks, Clark! Virtually opaque dark brown with ring of head, no lacing. Aroma is slightly rubber, dark malt, lightly bourbon. Taste is strong earthy roasted malt, rubber. Smooth texture, soft carbonation and rubbery, malty finish. Was hoping this was going to be some kind of savior but just OK.

Canned 6/6/23, drunk 6/14/25.
Clear, dark. Rich, butter-golden head.
Big PNW hopping despite two years of age. Kinda crusty and crunchy with dark malt galore but not much softness or richness. No booze.
Moderate body, very chocolatey and very piney with lots of citrus. Old school RIS with too much bitterness, roast and hop. Medium body. Not thin but could be much more substantial.

Bottled. Poured an orange yellow with a long lasting head. Some floral and citrus notes and almost a spicy kick at the end.

Clear amber pour, big off white head. Toasted malts, toasted caramel, light pine hops, even an odd vinous aroma. Viscous mouthfeel, low carb. Soapy, resinous pine finish. Medium bitterness, alcohol is well hidden, a nice sipper.
