Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a finger's worth of khaki foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: peanut butter, milk chocolate and coffee roastiness
Flavor: copies the aromas to a sweet, roasty and nutty salty sort of way; finishes the same
Texture: medium bodied, between sessionable and being a sipper; some smoothness but also light roastiness and saltiness seemingly slowing down the flow just a little bit
Overall: nicely done peanut butter stout I'd be willing be to have again.

Pours clear gold into a willi. Bright white head with medium retention crackles and recedes leaving no lacing. Cracker, corn and sourdough aromas. Crisp with buttered corn, meadow and cracker upfront turning to slightly tart melon and berries before the earthy finish. Like an improved version of a 70s macro.

Draught at Hopothecary Ales, 7/4/25.
Moderately hazy, bright lemon-golden with a small, white head.
Very prototypical, by-the-books NEIPA, but it's done well and has plentiful fruitiness from yeast and hop, with tropical fruits and a zesty bitterness from citrus and a hint of spice. Honey and cracker from malt balance.
Soft, malty, zesty and spicy with lingering tropical fruits and a pretty sizeable body and attenuation. Just solid across the board, if a bit unremarkable overall.

Tap pour at Mass Brewfest. Opaque black with ring of head. Aroma is strong peanuts. Taste is strong peanut butter and dark chocolate, moderate roasted bitterness. Smooth texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Good strength, sweet and bitter.

Can at home clear golden and a finger of frothy head. Nose is some rye, sour wet paper, peppery, hint of fruit. Tastes of the same. Rye has bit of bite but overall lager that tastes odd.

Undated can drunk 4/6/24. Clear, mango-tinged, dark brass. Quickly-fizzling, yellow-tinted head. Bit of malt (cracker), lots of carbonic acid/seltzer-like notes. Not really even much in the way of lactic acid. The mango stands out and is authentic and not overdone. Clean, very light. Sort of a sweet and tart character with a light, though not thin body. Good mango character. Low flavor overall. Bit of lactic acid throughout, not too punchy. Refreshing enough, I suppose.

Can at home. Shovel town had a few offerings that caught my eye this beer run. Caramel colored pour with a soapy head. Nose is vanilla and malt like a classic milk shake. Tastes of pleasant vanilla not overly sweet, some cream soda, some earthy notes like button mushroom. Smooth and easy drinking.
