Not a fan of this. So much nuttiness and it tasted very artificial to me

Tasted from bottle. Pours black with beige head. Aroma of bitter coffee and peanut butter. Moderately bitter and sweet. Flavors of coffee with a nice peanut butter flavor. A little more bitter roasted coffee flavor in this variant. Well done but I like the maple better.

Stark shiny black with a thick, creamy tan collar that clings in medium height curtains.

The coffee seems to enhance the nuttiness here, as creamy mocha is met with a spicy, almost mint character that comes out in the herbal coffee, which contrastingly pairs perfectly with the hefty peanut butter stout base that glides down with a soft carbonation. It has a good bitter bite even as the peanut butter is like it's dipped in cocoa liqueur.

Dark black body, one and half finger offwhite head, good retention, bits of lacing. Smell is a little bit muted due to being served cold; but there is a hint of milk chocolate and coffee, milk chocolate and lactose, a bit of light roast. Flavour is like drinking peanut butter cup ice cream; the Vietnamese coffee adds a nice creamy sweetness not unlike vanilla. Mouthfeel is full bodied, creamy and in a small way, made me feel like I was drinking a PB milkshake. Overall, an awesome beer and I would love to get more of this one.
