Jet black with a small light brown head. Peanut butter, chocolate and some burnt notes. Dark chocolate, peanut butter and a nice roast note. Still a touch of a burnt note, but better than the nose.

500mL bottle, pours jet black with a small light brown head. Nose is like a Reese's peanut butter cup that drowns out everything else, with a bit of bourbon still prominent. Flavour is less monolithic, but the peanut butter cup dominates upfront, followed by boozy bourbon, medium roast, and medium-high sweetness. The peanut butter and boozy bourbon dominate. I can't say it's an elegant beer, but I guess when you put peanut butter in a beer, you've abandoned that aim. Still quite a tasty desert-like adjunct impie.

Dark brown colour, not much head to talk about. Aroma is straight up chocolate ice cream (dark chocolate, vanilla). Good body strength, sweet, but also strong alcohol; rich chocolate flavour, chocolate ice cream, vanilla.

500ml @ Alex's shared with Farees. Appearance: very dark brown with a dark beige head. Aroma: smells amazing from the bottle - tons of chocolate, vanilla, coconut, bourbon, wafers; a little bit less impressive after poured into a glass, but still very nice. Taste: along the lines, lots of chocolate, vanilla, wafers, bourbon, a bit sludgy. Overall: very nice.

500mL bottle, pours black with a small light brown head. Aroma brings out lots of semi-fermented out honey, medium roast, and a touch of bourbon. Flavour is very boozy, with intense honey, floral notes, and booze. Boozy, hot, highly carbonated, without enough complexity or depth. This is really disappointing, especially for the price point. Not good at all.
