Brewed with caramel and circus peanuts. Forward flavors of chocolate, toffee, warm caramel and powdered sugar. Decadent with a rich mouthfeel.

Served in a teku glass from the can.
Appearance: Brown tinted black body coming off pretty thick.
Smell: Sweet sugar and light coffee aroma which smells good but but lacks potency.
Taste: Warm brown sugar with coffee, toffee candy notes and yes you hate peanuts...almost like you threw a little peanut butter into your coffee.
Mouth: Sticky with a soft carbonation, leaves a sweet coffee finish that makes love to your palate.
Overall: Very good brew, wish I grabbed more when I had the chance. Always in a glass, Salud.

Nice looking beer, black with a 1 finger mocha head that leaves a ring around the glass with very nice lacing.
Smell is as advertised, toffee, chocolate, caramel and very sweet.
Taste follows the nose, caramel and toffee up front with some chocolate and very sweet. No indication of ABV.
Feel is medium thick with a sweet sticky finish, moderate carbonation.
Very tasty however very sweet. If you have Diabetes you may want to limit your intake.

A: The beer is jet black in color. It poured with a short tan colored head that left a thin layer of bubbles on the surface and lots of lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of toffee are present in the nose along with hints of caramelized sugar.
T: The taste follows the smell and has flavors of toffee with notes of caramel and hints of whipped cream and sugary sweetness.
M: It feels medium- to full-bodied and a bit frothy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: With all of the caramel, toffee and sugary sweetness, this makes for a very nice dessert stout. It also does a remarkable job at hiding any traces of alcohol from the taste.
