Pours black into a snifter. Mocha head with little retention recedes to pool surface. Peanut butter and mocha aromas. Thin and sweet with peanut butter, espresso and milk chocolate turning to chocolate covered macadamia nut before the chalky over-roasted espresso finish.

Roasted dark malty with prominent coffee roast, caramel and toffee, ashy roast, charred brown sugar, dark malty lingering coffee infused finish. Lovely.

Pours murky mango into a tulip. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to mottle surface. Mango, passion fruit and papaya aromas. Thick with sweet mango, passion fruit and melon upfront turning to hot papaya and orange juice in the medium length finish.

Can from New England Wine & Spirits, Newburyport. Lightly hazy, maple syrup brown with nice sparkle, thin head with fair retention and trace lacing. Aroma is strong roasted malts. Taste is strong roasted malt, hint of toffee. Smooth, creamy, frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Not very complex but good strength.

Tap, courtesy of the LB guys. Jet black pour with a beige head. Nose is super intense notes of peanut butter, coffee, chocolate, and mostly hazelnut. Taste is similar but not as intense (drawback of using aromas), there’s coffee, vanilla, chocolate and nutty notes. A slightly more dry than expected but the body is still fairly smooth, and light, with a soft carbonation. Undoubtedly tasty but I’m still not a fan of aromas in beer.

Canned 11/20/24, drunk 3/6/25.
Probably clear, hard to tell. Dark. Burgundy edges. Tan head fizzles steadily away within 10 seconds.
I held on to this as long as I could stand it but I want to try it, so with about 3.5 months on it, here goes...rich, roasty, crunchy peanut butter is pleasant, maybe not so much more intense or aromatic than the base version, though. But clean, with no excess sugar or lactose impressions. Some prune-and-grape-like acidity on the very end easily balances. No booze noted.
Rich, soft, somewhat sweet, though far from problematically so. Not syrupy and with an abundant acidity that seems to suggest prune, raisin and concord grape. Peanut butter is savory, clean and well-presented. Yeah, this is nice stuff and not too sweet which is the important part. A good amount of flavor and body for its size without being overdone in any one category. If there's any complaint I have, maybe the complexity is a bit lacking, but I don't think that's something this beer is really trying to highlight. I don't know, there's still just missing here and I can't quite put my finger on it.
