The perfect mash-up of cacao nibs and peanut butter supported by caramel, chocolate and roasted malts, Absence of Light opens with huge aromas reminiscent of creamy peanut butter cups and transitions into a silky milk stout with rich chocolate and coffee notes tapering to a slightly sweet finish provided by an addition of milk sugar.

Pours clear dark brown with a thick but short-lived light tan head. Decent lacing. Aroma is dark roasted malt and peanut butter cup. Flavor follows the nose, sweet without being cloying. Feel is rather light bodied and lightly carbonated. Overall, a nice beer for what it is.

16oz can. Bottom stamp reads '23 229 89'.
Deep brown colored body. Khaki colored head is there for a considerable time. Leaves behind some small lacing webs.
Aroma of peanut butter, chocolate, and a hint of coffee. Base of roasted malts.
Taste is sweet but also has some bite. Roasted malts support the flavors of peanuts, chocolate, coffee, and dark fruit. Lingering aftertaste.
Smooth and silky mouth feel. Coats the mouth. Good carbonation.
One of the better peanut butter beers I have tried, because of the balanced sweetness and the natural peanut flavor.
