A dark, rich, aromatic, and malty specialty. Rottie fans tend to be pushy and territorial, so under no circumstances should you steal their bar stool.

No sour porters for me. I'm moving on to a milk stout from Tempe. Comes in a 22 ounce bottle. On to the beer:

A half-inch of head rests on top this obsidian/red hued beer. Creamy whisps of lace stick to a few spots around the glass. The aroma of chocolate malt balls makes much of the aroma, and there's a "plain" sweetness which I can't put my finger on. Overall, the aroma is not very strong, but it is interesting.

What I taste is decent. Unsweetened chocolate is the dominate note of this milk stout. A kiss of raisins offers a distraction from the chocolate. Just a dash of bittering hops at the end cuts through the overall sweet nature of the beer. While it's not a beer I feel in love with, it did help me forget the agony of Dark Knight Porter.

16oz draft pour is a gorgeous light-sucking mahogany brown body floating a cocoa colored 1/2in head of mixed bubbles and leaving sheets of sticky lacing.

Aroma and flavor is dark chocolate, cocoa, and milk chocolate dominant, with peanut overtones.

Mouthfeel is thick, creamy, and full. A reminder of reeses is left behind with a cocoa powder grit.

Overall a really nice desert beer. I really enjoy it, but for the name I would expect more peanut than chocolate.

Best by 12/18/18; drank 8/8/18 @ the Yarchives.

Opaque dark brown appearance.

A violent pour yielded a big, noisy tan head; minimal lace.

Peanut butter, caramel extract & acorn notes in the nose.

Medium mouthfeel.

Peanut butter, caramel extract & rotten acorn flavors.

This tasted artificial & gross. Drain pour.

Poured from a can into a schooner, the beer is a brownish-black, dark, with a foamy, low profile, light tan head. Aromas of heavy roast forward, sweet cream highlights, and a coffee and chocolate backbone. Light on the nose...you really have to dig in there. Flavors are roasted forward, with a subtle note of char building up as you drink. Chocolate and cream notes on the palate, as well, but everything aside from the roast and char is very subdued. There is a cloying, sugary component that starts to build up as you drink, too. The body is thin and smooth, washing out the subtle milky and chocolate aftertaste. The finish is short, slick, and slightly watery. For me, I need a little more body and a little more balance in a milk stout. It's not bad, but there are much better offerings in this style out there.

Upon opening some mild carbonation, pour is midnight black with a coffee color head that lasted briefly. Smells like sweet baked goods, like a sugar cookie or such. Taste is very smooth and full of molasses/sugar and a nice stout flavor. Very good finish leaving you wanting more, also very light considering is almost jet black color. I would rate this a light med beer for sure. Very good and would drink again for sure.
