UPDATED: JAN 28, 2023 (Tap at TCBW 2022, Saturday) (6:4-:7-:3:13=3.3-) Dark, fairly flat (what head there is is dark). Peanut (roasted) more than peanut butter, in both aroma and taste. This has the feel of a Baltic porter more than a stout. Slightly dry finish, with some coffee roast. Covers the alcohol quite well, especially when one considers that it's not overly sweet. Unusually, Phil probably didn't have this (no notes).

UPDATED: DEC 2, 2022 A 330ml gold waxed bottle, 6th Anniversary, 2020 vintage, with a best before date of 4th December 2023. Poured into what I guess is a water glass (being all that I could find at the hotel late at night). Black in colour with a very thin tanned head that dissipated fairly quickly while leaving some sparse lacing. Aromas of peanut, peanut butter, chocolate, light roast, bourbon, brown sugar, vanilla. Tastes roasty, chocolate, moderate sweetness, caramel, dark fruit, prunes, plum, brown sugar, bourbon, peanut. Creamy, full bodied with soft carbonation. Overall, definitely a sipper with interesting aroma and flavours. Peanut notes were quite pronounced, but I would have preferred if it was more peanut butter instead, as per the name.

UPDATED: OCT 13, 2022 33cl bottle (gold wax, vintage 2020) from Kaffee Bazaar webshop. F: thin film, dark tanned. C: black, opaque. A: rich dark malts, chocolate, coffee, cocoa, dark dried fruits, bourbon touch, dark plums, vanilla touch, toffee, bit vinous, nutty of course. T: really full malty base, chocolate sauce, coffee, dark fruits, woody touch, toffee, dark chocolate, vinous touch, bit vanilla, light oily mouthfeel, nutty, nice balanced bitterness, low if any carbonation, very tasty for the style, fully enjoyed.

UPDATED: DEC 1, 2021 Bottle. Pours black with beige head. Sweet peanut butter on nose. Tastes sweetish, sticky mouthfeel. Peanut butter, some chocolate. Vanilla? Smoothly goes down the neck. Very well hidden alcohol. Tasty!

UPDATED: NOV 9, 2021 Gold Waxed Bottle, Edition from 2020. No coz my tu mamy, fistaszki, maselko, placki z jablkami smazone na masle klarowanym, nieco nutelli, czy innego sztucznego kremu czekoladowo-orzechowego, no i maslo orzechowe, a raczej krem orzechowy sie tak powinien zwac ten cudny rarytas z ameryki, ktory mi nie pasi niestety, i ogolnie ten krem i ten zawarty w tym piwie. Zdominowalo smak, a nawwet posmak, cale szczescie ze ten bourbon sie wyczuwa, ale glownie tylko w aromacie, ciekawostka, eksperyment nie dla mnie, cale szczescie ze utopili alko w tym gestym masle, plusik za to ze nie wyczuwalny, Plusik za lak, i za ladna piane. Ogolnie ocenie wysoko, bo piwo wyraziste, zbytnio jak dla mnie w kwestii maselka, ale wole takie ze szczypiorkiem, na zytnim razowym pieczywie.

UPDATED: AUG 10, 2021 Aus der Flasche (bbe 04.12.2023) im 2021-08 getrunken. Dieser dunkle Traum von einem Pastry Stout kommt mit ein fein cremigen Schaumkrone daher. In der Nase zeigt sich sofort die Bourbonfassreifung und der Nusseinfluss bevor ein tolles Schokoladen-Aroma beides hervoragend abrundet. Am Gaumen finden sich diese Aromen in ein tollen Balance wieder. Ein tolles IStout!

UPDATED: JUL 16, 2021 Bottle. Malty aroma and taste, chocolate, light roastyness, light barrel wooden notes, light sweet, medium bitter. Full body, creamy texture, malty choco roasty bitter sweet finish with peanut traces. Alcohol hidden well. Good.

UPDATED: JUL 15, 2021 Bottle 330ml at home. From Bierliefhebber. Pours black with thin beige head. Flavor has roasted malts, bourbon barrel, chocolate, licorice. Full body, oily texture, soft carbonation, heavy roasted finish.

UPDATED: JUL 4, 2021 Pours a thick motor oil black with a small dark brown head.. Aroma is heavy on the peanut, some of the bourbon coming through, brown sugar. Taste is lots of peanut up front, a gathering sweetness into the middle where the bourbon really comes through, some dark chocolate, roasty coffee into the finish as it gains in bitterness towards the finish, which lingers with a long bitter sweetness with the bourbon staying throughout. Some nice slight boozy warmth. Lovely thick full bodied, medium to low carbonation. Absolutely wonderful!

UPDATED: JUN 23, 2021 Bottle - pours black, tan head - nose/taste of peanut butter, creamy milk chocolate, bourbon and oak - full bodied
