(Thanks, Jeremy! JStax) A- Roasty, earthy, mild rum. A- Black color, dark liquid, brown head. T- Roasty, earthy, bitter, dry, burnt sugars, mild booze. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, slightly bitter finish. O- Loved the label, love the styles, and appreciated the previous two reviews. Unfortunately, this didn't quite meet expectations. Not even remotely sweet to help cut through the dry roasted bitter malt. Decent but not as awe inspiring as I hoped.

Can shared at Lucky Bamboo share. Pours a pitch black with a finger of beige head that lingers. Peanut butter forward nose with some milk chocolate and faint cacao aromas. Rich and full-bodied on the palate. More peanut butter and chocolate on the palate as well. Sweet, but not overly sugary. Lingering peanut butter and chocolate flavors.
