Can to mug.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in color with a finger's worth of khaki foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: roasted nuts, caramel/toffee malts, black coffee notes, milk chocolate, dark chocolate and then a light earthy hop tone underneath
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a bitter but smooth to a semi-sweet oat-like tone; finishes black coffee to sweet oat-like with subtle chocolate
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sesionable; and pretty smooth along the tongue
Overall: I say a pretty nicely done oatmeal stout worthy of coming back to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark brown close to black with a two finger off-white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: milk chocolate, dark chocolate, caramel/toffee malts, roasty notes and a light sweet coffee tone far down in there
Flavor: wraps up the prior noted aromas to a fairly sweet to roasty and slightly bitter quality; finishes chocolatey, coffee-ish and slightly caramel-like
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; some smoothness but possibly could have had a bit more body to this one.
Overall: great aromas and flavors - just get that body bigger compared to it's projected ABV and this one could be a great one

Aroma of chocolate, char, peanuts. I wouldn’t call this peanut butter. I would call it more boiled peanut. Like boiled peanuts you get at a baseball stadium.
Chocolate malt and peanuts to boot! The mouthfeel is oily and viscous. Gets points for low alcohol. Not cloying. Decent for sure.

Can (0X/25/24) from Greg & Jane's Beer and Wine. Hazy pale milky yellow, big gob of sediment, light sparkle, ring of head, no lacing. Aroma is vague, earthy strawberry, malts. Taste resembles aroma with mostly malt and slight tart element. Smooth, thick texture, soft-to-average carbonation, mostly malty finish as taste. Regardless of what month this was, hops have aged. Likely could be better than this but not great.
