Pour from can into 4 oz taster. Aroma is roasted malt with peanuts. Appearance is virtually opaque black with 1/2 finger-width orangey-brown head with poor retention and no lacing. Taste is moderately sweet malt with peanut taste. Palate is medium bodied with average texture and soft carbonation, finish is sweet with peanuts. Overall, this is nice and, while I appreciate that the peanut butter taste is somewhat restrained, so is the roasted malt. Nice if you want a less heavy Porter, but both could have been a bit ramped up, while maintaining the balance and been truly fantastic.

This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a dark brown close to black color with a slim finger’s worth of tan head. Stringy lacing clings and then slides into the beer at an adequate pace.
The smell had some roasted peanut blending with a subtle roasty coffee bean underneath.
The taste was dry and roasty with a subtle sweetness from the roasted peanut. There’s a light roasty peanut to coffee aftertaste leading into the finish.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a nice sessionable feel about it. Carbonation felt right for a porter but with the roasty portion and peanut there’s a certain dryness clinging to my tongue.
Overall, not sure why but I finally finished the rest of them off and to me, I find that its more peanut than peanut butter. Still, a nice offering from Foolproof that I would have again.
