Had on tap to kick off GABS Festival in Melbourne, May 2014. Tried in conjunction with the collaboration beer &J from Thirsty Crow, then blended the two together as per the brewer's recommendation.
Pours an amber colour, very slightly cloudy. Cream-coloured foamy head. Lovely lace. Looks great.
Smell is lacking. Nice peanut buttery character lingering at the back but quite yeasty, with some grainy notes and a touch of medicinal phenol. OK.
Taste is also largely yeasty. Sweet malt upfront with more vanilla than any other character, touch of cake batter and just a whisper of peanut butter. Finish is all yeasty, bready even, and certainly not big on complexity.
Body is quite thin; could use more malt all over this.
I like the idea but not the execution. Could really have amped up the PB character in here, as it's just yeasty and thin. The "black & tan" with the &J was not wholly successful either, and I put the blame primarily on this beer's shoulders.

One half of the unique collaboration PB&J from Bootleg and Thirsty Crow, brewed as separate beers but designed to be blended. This review is just for the PB in isolation. Tried at GABS2014 in Melbourne.
Pours a clear golden colour with an off-white head that forms a solid, fine ring around the edge. Body has a bit of decent weight to it and holds nice fine carbonation. Lace forms in nice rings as it goes down. Looks pretty good.
Nose is pretty weak. Mild, slightly nutty tones on initial entry, before they fall out leaving the beer smelling rather yeasty. Paper and flour tones take over while a suggestion of peanut in the background reminds you what this is meant to be.
Taste is also fairly light. Crisp entry with a hint of amber malt that turns dank and husky in the middle of the palate. Back is also very light, with a little crispness and a stank of yeastiness. Aftertaste is fairly weak, but at least here there's a linger of peanut shavings. Feel is extremely light.
Overall, this is pretty lacklustre stuff. It was certainly not the equal of the &J in any case, and felt a little like it let down the blend as well. Disappointing.
