Bottle, many thanks to coldbrewky. Very dark brown color with thick creamy espresso colored head. aroma of roasted malt, coffee, milk chocolate, peanuts. Taste, roasted malt, coffee, peanuts, chocolate. Roasty bitter finish. Very tasty beer.

Smells of dry roasted peanuts and a touch of roasty dark chocolate. The flavors are very similar... not exactly a complex beer. On the palate, it is a touch oily (maybe psychosemantic) and doesn’t finish as clean as I’d like, but otherwise fine.

Thanks to Bert for the beautiful bottle from Maryland. This poured a dark brown cola color with a ruby hue around the edges. A great head of loose foam that fell fast to a collar and cap with a thin skin that never faded. Soapy wet lace. The nose is peanuts. Dry roasted peanuts, a little salty. Reminds one of a reeses peanut butter cup. Some milk chocolate comes through as it warms and some dark fruits. No alcohol on the nose. There is a little tiny hint of floral way in back. This has a great malt toasty smell too. Taste is peanuts and more peanuts. Follows the nose all the way. The body of this beer is thinner than you would expect from the smell and not very creamy. Malt is deep and has some toast, roast and unsweetened chocolate to go with all those peanuts. Little hint of vanilla. It finishes dry and with some hop bitter on the back palate and in the aftertaste. The dark fruits are lost to the peanuts but they are there in the background as a touch of earth. There is even a little hay on the palate. It’s salty like peanuts and warms slightly as you sip it. This was very enjoyable beer. Unique and very smooth. It’s as though they took your favorite candy bar and made it into a beer.

Tap. Dark and almost black with a thin tan head. Aroma is purely peanut butter with some sligt chocolate. Flavor is the same but the peanut butter almost seems artificial in the flavor which is a turn off. Lighter body that could use more depth.

UPDATED: APR 30, 2013 Duclaw at the airport, on draft. Pours dark brown with ruby edges. Smells like a peanut butter and jelly. A little watery and on the sweet side. Needs some bitter to balance out the sweet. Similar to CCB Snack Attack buy nowhere clise in quality. Nearly cloying.

One of the best tasting beers on my list, better love peanut butter. Peanut butter aroma is stronger than taste, and taste is perfect. I am parcel to peanut butter though.

12oz bottle. Pours dark deep brown color with a one finger off white head that leaves spotty lacing. Aroma is big of fresh roasted peanuts, bakers milk chocolate and the dark roasted grains. Tastes just like it smells, with rich creamy flavors. Some light hop bitterness comes through as it warms up. Finish is roasty, and lingers on the palate for awhile. Heavy smooth body with moderate carbonation. Smooth, roasty feel.

Good stuff. Pours dark Cola with a fluffy tan head. Aroma is chocolate and peanut butter. Sweet and sticky finish, very good.

Pours cola brown with a creamy tan head. Aroma of peanut butter, chocolate, and graham. Peanut butter flavor with chocolate, roasted malt,and hint of toasted malt. Just delicious!

Dark brown pour with an off white head. Chocolate and caramel aromas. Thin and watery with bland bitter roasted malt notes. Lay off the blasphemy jack ass your beer ain’t that good..
