16 oz. Aroma has notes of passionfruit, peaches, vanilla, pineapple. Pours hazy golden with a collapsing bone white head. Taste is moderately to highly sour (8/10), a little sweet and faintly bitter with flavors reminiscent of vanilla ice cream covered tropical fruit and peaches. Very tasty.
Lot of coffee

500 ml bottle from Tavour shared by my daughter. Nose is vanilla, cinnamon, and cocoa on a caramelly base. Black with a small cinnamon tan head. Flavor is like a chocolate donut with a cinnamon vanilla frosting.
Belgian stout with a bunch of raspberry upfront but weirdly and bitter finish

22 ounce bottle into snifter, bottled in 2016. Pours opaque dark brown/black color with a 1-2 finger dense and fluffy khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, peanuts, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, cream, toasted biscuit, and dark/brown bread/crust; with lighter notes of licorice, molasses, raisin, prune, cherry, fig, date, smoke, char, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. A bit too fruity/yeasty aromas, but not overwhelming. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malts, peanuts, caramel, cocoa nibs, light-moderate fruity yeast, and light earthy hop notes; with big strength. Taste of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, peanuts, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, cream, toasted biscuit, and dark/brown bread/crust; with lighter notes of licorice, molasses, raisin, prune, cherry, fig, date, smoke, char, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Mild herbal, grassy, roast, char bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, peanuts, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, cream, toasted biscuit, dark/brown bread/crust; light molasses, dark fruit, smoke, char, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts, peanuts, caramel, cocoa nibs, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with a solid roast/hop bitter/sweet balance; and no cloying/acrid flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering hop/roast bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, and lightly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 10.3%. Overall this is an awesome flavored imperial milk stout. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts, peanuts, caramel, cocoa nibs, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to sip on for the big ABV, with the mildly bitter/drying finish; great soft feel. Awesome balance of rich malts, lactose, cocoa, peanuts, and caramel flavors; with restrained fruity yeast, and mild earthy hops. Not overly sweet/heavy from lingering dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and impressive style example. Aged really well.
Smells like PB, tastes like watery peanut butter

16 oz. Aroma is a tad lackluster, with notes of wet stone, caramel, cinnamon, dark bread, rhubarb. Pours a really dark brown to black with a one finger beige head that falls into a ring somewhat quickly. Taste is lightly sweet, finishing faintly bitter, with flavors a little bit like a Samoa, but only if you stretch the imagination. Tastes mostly like a standard brown ale. Not a bad beer, but it's disappointing for someone looking for a Samoa in liquid form, cos it tastes like one only just barely.

16 oz. Aroma is peanut butter. Pours hazy orange-brown with a collapsing beige head. Taste is sweet with flavors of peanut butter, grain. Good shit.

Bottle from Tavour. Murky medium amber with towering, fluffy head. Aroma is caramel malts with some savory hops. Incredibly smooth, lightly bitter, thick, earthy. Oatmeal adds a nice touch to this, silky smooth.
Interesting milky mango with a sweet back. Odd though, short on juicy, short on milky. Mango is mellow too. Some confusing sour milky mango mix.
