Pretty basic. Mild sweetness and floral notes from the honey, along with a grain undertone laced with wort and a mild pine bitterness. Carbonation comes across somewhat harsh. Eh.

12 oz. can from Fresh Market in Brentwood, TN. Pours a hazy gold color with a large, thick off white head and excellent retention. Good lacing. Hoppy aroma, as expected. Hoppy taste too, with low, soft grapefruit bitterness in the finish. Much less aggressive than I expected for 100 IBUs (per my can). Tastes more like a pale ale. Medium carbonation and body. The 6.5% ABV is well hidden.

From a 12 oz can. Pours a hazy brownish pale amber with a fine off white head. Cherry aroma. Flavors are sour cherry with just a hint of sweetness and not much bitterness.

From a 12 oz can. Pours a clear copper with an off white head. Aromas of dank hay. Flavors are bitter pine.

Pours a hazy reddish-bronze color with a medium thin off-white head that recedes gradually to a film. Sparse strings of lace. Aroma of cherry, yeast and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of mildly tart cherry, wheat, yeast and doughy malt. The finish is mildly tart with a cherry aftertaste. Decent overall.

Very light on the peanut butter notes, but still a nice stout, with a dry chocolate roastiness underlined by mild notes of roasted peanuts and anise, followed by a lingering dark roast dry finish. Not sweet at all, a pleasant surprise among a style known for tasting like liquid Reese's cups. Terrible pour and lackadaisical nose hurt the score, so I did some rejiggering to bring up the points. Still better than a 3.5, but goddamn is it an ugly pint.

Very nice BBA stout, quaffable in its gentle indulgence, offering up chocolate, dried fruit, anise, roast, and java notes before developing a bourbon-tinged vanilla back end. Not aggressive in any sense, but enjoyable, very easy-drinking for an impy stout, with a slow-developing depth best taken in while watching multiple Christmas episodes of The Office (US). Whatever. Good beer.

Tall can. Pours hazy yellow with a tall, fluffy, white head. Sticky webbing left on the glass. Fresh tropical fruit aromas. The flavor follows the aroma. Slightly sweet with minimal bitterness.

Not a bad stout, bitter and roasted despite the vanilla and lactose adding a subtly sweet padding to the edges. Chocolate, caramel, and mocha add depth to the middle, while notes of dried cherry and cola lead to a semi-boozy, mildly dry finish, with vanilla rounding out the fade. Never quite coalesces as well as you'd like--lactose seems unnecessary, what with the ABV and vanilla--but very easy-drinkin' for an 8% stout. Slightly better than it scores.
