Bottled. A pitch black a thin brown head. The aroma has notes of chocolate, malt, and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of peanuts, roasted malt, and earth, leading to a dry finish. Not good.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours dark brown to pitch black with a small tan to brown head. Aroma is roasted malty and light peanutty. Light chemical and citric. Wineous, paint and chemical. Citric and dry malty.

Bottle 35,5 cl. Courtesy of Doodler. Pours an opaque black with a small, dissipating beige head. Very odd but interesting aroma, peanut not so much as overripe raisins. Medium body, very rustic tart raisins and a litlte wood. Again I don’t pick up any peanut whatsoever - more tart cherries. No real bitterness. An interesting infection this time from Shorts! 030612

(12oz bottle, courtesy of blutt59) Pours a brown body with a small tan head. Aroma of nuts, roasted malt, and some sour fruit notes. Flavor of grass, nuts, and light sourness (infection).

Trivia time: ’goober’ is the gullah word for peanut, and has its origins in West African languages. Dark brown with a slight haze. Definite peanut buttery nose - not much else. Very roasty on the palate with light peanut butter that gets stronger as it goes. Roasty, bitter finish. The nuts and stout never really came together for me.

Opaque black beer, small tan head. Nose of unshelled peanuts! Light dry palate, crispy. Mild dark malts with unsweet peanut and mild minerals. Interesting contrast between the Porter like tangy dark malt and the earth peanut. Slightly weird - but tasty!

bottle at papsø. pitch dark, small offwhite head. roasted malts, dry, flavor is roasted malty, spicy, herbal..

Bottle. Poured a black color with an average frothy off-white head that mostly diminished with fair lacing. Moderate toasted chocolate aroma. Medium sweet chocolate flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Medium to full body with a smooth texture and flat carbonation. This is a soft sweet beer.

Growler... Pours very dark brown with a small, creamy, beige head. Smells like peanut butter and chocolate with a bit of cardboard. Full-bodied and silky with soft carbonation. Layers of peanut butter, chocolate and caramel. A touch of cardboard oxidation. Very roasty, moderately bitter finish. Interesting! I wonder how the brewer made this happen with all the fat in peanuts and peanut butter. I can’t believe this beer had a head at all. Maybe brewed with Bunchosia Argentea (Peanut Butter Fruit) instead of peanuts? Who knows? Who cares? It works! <b>Kudos to GodOfThunder for sharing!</b>

Thank you Derek for sending this Growler my way! Poured a dark black color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of roast, some lighter oatiness, nutty, chocolate, and smokey. Peanuts. Tastes of roast, chocolate, oats, and nutty. I like the way the peanuts were done and presented ’themselves’ in this beer.
