Undated can from tfontana drunk 3/30/26. Thanks, Tom!
Really well-done, authentic peanut butter character in the nose. Bit of earthiness, very mild roast, with fig-prune-date-like notes. Fair bit of sweetness. Nothing weird going on.
Similar in the mouth. There's an undercurrent of fig/prune and mild roast adding proper acidity to balance the maltier notes and the tasteful peanut butter addition which is fruity and rich, and not overdone or weird/artificial.

Can from the brewery. Opaque dark brown, nice sparkle, ring of head, light viscosity, no lacing. Aroma is strong, bittersweet, roasted peanut, late chocolate as it warms. Taste is strong roasted peanut--more on bitter roasted than sweet side. Smooth, somewhat watery texture, soft carbonation, lightly bitter roasted finish as taste. Good strength. Taste is a bit to the roasted side for me.

16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Thank you much! Aroma shows light caramel, and mild peanut butter. Flavor follows with a soft roasted malt backbone. Medium body and fine for the gravity. Also shows a very mild sour hint in the finish.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: cardboard orange haziness, two finger white foamy head which dissipated to leave some messy lace
Aroma: subtle grassy to floral hops, clean malts
Flavor: semi-sweet through the hops, sly aftertaste of floral hops
Texture: medium bodied, between sessionable and being a sipper, semi-dry floral hoppy finish
Overall: good for what it is. I could see myself returning to.

Beer two on waterfront kind folks working the booths. Murky brown. Like everything in life with this blasted nut hazelnut is all you smell or taste. Not my favorite flavoring but that’s not fault of brewer. Little thin

Free Beer after the Helderberg to Hudson half marathon while letting feet rest and listening to band. Quite thick hazy. Nose is apricot and sherbert. Tastes the same, pineapple, apricot, lemon, oats, sherbert. Creamy. Tingles palate a touch.

Crowler can from Latham seems a bit past prime. Clean orange pour but hue oddly unpealing frothy head. Nose is sour and caramel. Tastes of caramel, little wine residue, rye, sour citrus. Not the best aftertaste.
