Can pour from Steve. Opaque dark brown with thin head quickly fading to a ring and no lacing. Aroma is strong peanut butter, roasted malt. Taste is peanut butter but overshadowed by a tart quality. Smooth, thin texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste (unfortunately). Aroma was promising. Given other fairly high scores, this was probably improperly stored/old but not good.

16 oz can shared by tfontana. Aroma is great peanut butter mild roast, really promising. Unfortunately this is something that needs to be kept in refrigerator because the peanut turned sour. Pretty much impossible to drink.
