Rather sweet

On tap at Crunchy’s, East Lansing. Opaque deep brown body, thin discontinuous tan head. Roasted malt nose with peanut butter, thin and acidic. Thin, woody, acidic body that is rounded by sweet, meaty peanut butter. Strangely quaffable- I guzzled nearly half a mug in minutes without any resistance. Tasty.

On tap at the brewpub. Poured black with a dark brown head that dissipated slowly to the edges. Aroma was full of dark grains with some bitter dark chocolate and a bit of underlying peanut butter. Flavor was mainly slightly bitter dark chocolate with a growing peanut butter note which tasted just like a delicious peanut butter cup!

On tap at the brewpub. Poured a hazy near black with a light brown head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma was full of sweet grains with an underlying fruit note that seemed to be pineapple. Flavor was similar with smooth sweet grains, some chocolate and a late joining pineapple note. Played in to the name quite well.

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 5.5

On tap at the brewpub. Poured a clear dark brown with a brown head that lasted and laced. Aroma was sweet with grain, caramel, and just a hint of underlying molasses. Flavor was very malty with almost no hints of hops. The flavor was mainly caramel with some molasses and grain. Seemed much more like a brown ale the a black IPA.
