Draught @ Merrion Square bar, Manhattan (12/9/22). Faintly cloudy golden with a foamy white head, faint cucumber aroma, medium carbonation, medium sour cucumber-mint flavor, thin body, medium finish with faint cucumber aftertaste. Interesting brew.

Draught @ Merrion Square, Manhattan (12/9/22). Extremely hazy dark yellow, like peach juice with off-white foamy head, orange-mango aroma, low carbonation, mildly bitter orange-peach-mango taste, somewhat thick body, long tropical fruit finish. Did not get any cherry taste at all but it's a good NEIPA.

Super deep dark brown coloured body with a rich, three to four centimetre tall rich brown head that caps the beer nicely above an 80 per cent opaque brown body. Aroma of super strong peanut powder with a strong earthy and rustic nutty quality that doesn't smell like peanut butter at all, but there is some chocolate here, a dash of molasses and a bunch more of the roasted malt and oatmeal notes here. Medium-bodied; Not quite super rich, but noticeable malts from oatmeal and roasted grain with a light dose of licorice and anise but much more of the super rustic and earthy nutty flavours with a peanut butter powder/fake note and nothing of actual ground peanuts or peanut butter, even, but strong and deep throughout. Aftertaste is a little sweet with a lot of peanut butter powder flavours here as well, some light chocolate elements and some figs even, but little else aside from the deep malts. Overall, a decent at best stout with a ton of fake peanut butter notes and some light sweetness to cut through the nuts with a dash of sweetness, but this is pretty well potent and robust from the rustic nuts. Good to sample if you like peanut butter powder and very strong peanutty and rustic qualities without much sugars, otherwise off-balanced and a bit too strong, especially at three years in the can. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Wegman's [grocery] in Lancaster, Pennsylvania on 26-May-2019 for US$1,99 canned on 20-February-2019 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 17-February-2023.

Black with a small foamy beige head. Strong cocoa, vanilla and roasted nuts. Long finish. Moderately full bodied.

Taster at brewery. Near black pour, ring of head. Aroma is sweet, chocolaty, fig, savory. Cardamom plays a larger role in the taste, honey sweetness, fruity fig flavors, light roasty, chocolate notes also. A bit dry, mouth coating. Seems thin.

Taster at Spring House. Near black pour, wispy head. Roasty aroma, light sweet notes. Taste is roasty, chocolate, cola, coffee. Nice bite but still smooth.

Taster at Spring House. Cloudy golden pour, skin of head, streaky lacing. Fruity aroma, stone fruit, tropical. Taste lays down a nice bready base, then bringing bitterness, overripe fruity notes, and a creamy feel. Hefty bitter bites stays on the palate.
