Amber body. Bright. Thin head. Decent smoke, lots of Weyermann beech. Not sure the malt structure underneath it is all the way there, but I still like that smoke.
All the elements are present here - peanut butter, coffee, maple, cinnamon and all that. It lacks pop, has sweetness but not bitterness. Doesn't come together as much as I'd like.
Taster at the brewery. Pitch black with a tiny beige head. Strong coffee aroma dominates. Coffee flavor dominates too, with a little bit of bitter dark cocoa flavor and a sweeter boozy finish. I don't taste any of the vanilla or cinnamon or peanut butter. Slightly better than the Dark Proclivities, but still way too strong.
