Draught at Barcade on St Marks: pours clear gold with white head. Aroma is pine and spruce and the like. Taste is bitter and full of tree. Lightly bitter.

Very good impy stout, with a hefty roasted malt base offering up chocolate, coffee, raisin, molasses, and caramel, followed by a gentle sweetness on the back end couple with anise, grain, cocoa, and a lingering floral bitterness laced with char. Dry fade helps dispel any notions of this being a traditional sugary milk stout. Tasty.

Ever so slightly hazy golden and copper coloured body with a thin, single centimetre tall off-white head and a touch of bubbles rising from the sides. Aroma of citrus (of course), hay, grass and a good amount of sugars - honey and some syrup shows through. Medium-bodied; Strong rich sweetness with the honey and resinous notes showing stronger than any hop bitterness, but a lot of citrus and grapefruit notes that indicate a lot of hoppiness, without the deep bitterness. Aftertaste shows a lot of the syrup and resinous notes with a good fruity and almost fructose type flavour, with a dash of light bitterness from the citrus-based hops and not much complexity or depth, however. Overall, a very interesting beer that shows more of an American Strong or dare-I-say, pure amber ale, than anything else, but the sweetness shows much stronger than the hops do throughout, even sampled very fresh! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Newport News, Virginia on 17-November-2019 for US$4,04 sampled on 09-January-2020, after spending it's entire life in a fridge.

Bottle pour from BevMax, Hamden. Appearance is opaque black with no sparkle, finger-width foamy beige head with poor retention and minimal lacing. Aroma is mix of roasted malt and coffee and late hint of peanut butter. Taste is strong roasted coffee, slightly ashy, with much milder peanut butter and hint(?) of chocolate. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, perhaps the espresso really killed the chocolate peanut butter quality but not well balanced between the espresso addition and the base porter. Not bad but disappointing given the description.

12 oz. bottle in a trade with tfontana. Thanks for the opportunity. No date coding anywhere on the bottle. Pitch black appearance. Aroma has soft coffee, mild roast. Flavor has a decent roasted malt with soft roasted coffee. I can’t find the peanut butter anywhere. Body are texture are normal. Was hoping for the peanut butter someplace.

Pours brown and bubbly with a thick tan head. Aroma of nutty malt. Taste has chocolate, nut butters, roasted coffee and malt. Palate has nuts on the nose, slight toasted coconut. Good.
