Tastes like a carpet that was repeatedly soiled on by a doberman pinscher. So happy I bought 1 bottle in a make your own 6 pack. I might dump this thing out.

look: 3.75 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4
Look: 3.75 black with small tan head
Smell: 4.25 similar to hazelnut. Chocolatey and peanut butter. Really like the peanut butter aspect.
Taste 4.25: mostly follows nose. peanut butter is unique (to me at least) addition. Really delicious and couldn't get enough.
Feel: 3.75 medium body, low carbonation. pretty smooth. would like something slightly heavier for porter.
Overall: 4 really glad i tried something new and would get this again.
Ended up getting really bloated and did not feel like finishing 20 oz. Could be due to beer or other food/stomach issues at the time.

opaque deep brown with almost no foam.
Strong nose. Lots of chocolate and roastyness. very warming. super nice.
the flavor is inversely disappointing. flat and cardboard. i picked this 12oz bottle up from Joe Canal's in Lawrenceville along with another bottle (Curieux) that was suspiciously cardboardy. I think I may need to try this from somewhere else and revise my review.

Peanut butter/adjunct porters are not my favorite style, but this is not bad. The peanut is a bit too heavy in terms of both smell and taste. There is a nice bitterness -- if this beer were too sweet, I think I would really hate it.

I don’t know. I kinda hate this. Yet, after a bit, I begin to enjoy it. It’s unique, certainly.
Pours like a typical hoppy stout. I see ZERO lacing. It’s dark brown but not quite opaque.
Smell kinda turns me off. I think that’s peanut butter and... bakers chocolate? If this was something I was going to eat I would enjoy the smell nose. How is this going to translate to a porter?!
First taste is jarring. Not at all pleased. Second sip I begin to understand. Third, well, I am not drinking the PB porter kool-aid but I grudgingly admit that I like this beer.
I don’t like the heavy carbonation and it should be far smoother.
Could go down better minus the hops. Way too much in that area.
Overall I don’t mind it. I doubt I will buy another.

Aroma of chocolate and peanut butter but much less peanut butter on the taste. a lot of what appear to be peanut butter floaties in the beer. like the roast level, wish the chocolate was a little sweeter as what is there tastes a bit burnt.

12-oz. bottle needed a heavy pour for a 1/2 finger of light tan froth with medium retention and minimal spots of lace.
Dark chestnut brown with amber highlights, appears dark amber in front of light.
Peanut butter controls the smell with caramel malt and bakers chocolate.
Taste begins semi-sweet from malt and peanut butter, the middle is a little dryer with roasted malt (not bitter) and a faint astringent burnt chocolate twinge. The finish returns to semi-sweet and is quick and smooth. Faint hops and alcohol linger.
On the light side of medium bodied, below average carbonation. The peanut butter softens the feel and coats the palate.
Minus the burnt chocolate, the taste is evenly semi-sweet and low on the bitterness. Smooth easy drink.

Dark brown in color with little light penetration. There's a fingernail of brown around the rim and covering half of the top. The aroma is of sweet and decadent peanut butter along with milk chocolate. I'm tasting a much less prevalent flavor of peanut butter than the nose would indicate. I'm also tasting milk chocolate and some dark malt in the mix. The mouth is lightly oily and silky smooth from the peanut butter.

On tap, it pours pitch black color with a small tan head that faded slowly and left minimal spotty lacing.
Smells of chocolate, burnt peanuts, dark chocolate, smoked grains,
cocoa powder, roasted malts, brown sugar and lots of roasty notes.
Tastes has more of the peanut butter aspect with everything listed above plus burnt coffee grinds, light piney notes and burnt marshmallow.

Appearance – One finger head on a clear dark brown body.
Aroma – Dark malts and peanuts, no roasted character.
Taste – Roasted malt, light peanut butter, bitter aftertaste.
Mouthfeel – a bit thin but it coats the tongue nicely.
Overall – Good but you have to be aware of what it is before going into it or you will be surprised.

This is a very clean and very nicely balanced Porter with the peanut butter flavor being just about the right amount. Not too sweet and with a fairly mild bitterness, it's an easy beer to drink and even pair with dessert.

Nice dark pour. Head remained pretty well and laced pretty decent. Slightly more carbonated than most, but hard pour it and let it settle a bit. Flavour is really nice, roasty with pretty good chocolate and peanut butter notes. Really a pretty good brew!

On tap in Newton, MA. Poured a deep brown with a thin head. Smelled fairly sweet and nutty with notes of chocolate. Taste has a bit of a roasted malt presence, but is mostly chocolate and peanuts. It genuinely tasted like Cocoa Puffs to me. A bit too sweet for my tastes. Feel was thinner than expected, smooth, no dryness. Not bad but not my porter of choice.

I have to say when I looked at the bottle I instantly got two messages in the brain, either this is going to be really good or really bad. The name sounded interesting except the dishwasher part sort of through me off but peanut butter and chocolate are two of my fav things so I decided to give it a try.
When I popped the bottle open and smelled it, it was an interesting smell of darkness but I couldn't make it if that was chocolate or not. My first sip was the most interesting sip because at first it didn't taste like anything just a weird mush flavor but as I continued to drink the Chocolate became more pronounced and the peanut butter came out ever so subtle on the under note. The more I drank it the more and more the flavors grew into an excellent combo. By the time I finished the bottle I absolutely loved it.
Truly a unique beer, am looking forward to trying others.

look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4
This was poured into a nonic pint glass. The appearance was a nice looking dark brown close to black color with a one finger white to off white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute leaving some light speckled lacing roaming around the glass. The smell started off with a delicate peanut butter weaving it’s way to a gentle dark chocolate and milk chocolate. It shows nice roasty and robust coffee tones to balance. The taste was mainly roasty through the combination of the peanut butter, dark and milk chocolate and bringing in the coffee in a nice bitter way. A somewhat roasty peanut butter to cocoa aftertaste leads to a dry roasty finish. On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation seemed good as an American Porter and gives off a nice creamy smooth way over my tongue. Overall, I say this was a nice American Porter with the peanut butter twist coming in to fit in nicely.

Minor, quickly faded head. It does leave some spots for lace. The color is very much like Coca-Cola where light passes on the edges easily but nothing through the center of the glass.
Think Reese's Peanut Butter Cup with semisweet chocolate and you'll get a sense of the smell here. Hard to get by the peanuts.
This is a decent novelty beer but the peanut butter is too strong to keep it in the Porter category with any seriousness. It would be more appropriate in the fruit/vegetable section. The taste follows the smell almost to a "T". The aftertaste is relatively short given the strength of the flavors. Full bodied with ample carbonation.

12oz. bottle into a Surly teku. Shared with schen9303.
Nose is chocolate... and peanut butter. A touch of roast and lactose also. Sweet and smooth. Pretty good. Beer opens sweet with hints of chocolate, roasted malt and a light tartness. Peanut butter is mostly missing in this one, which is a little disappointing but its not bad. Some peanut shell and casing. Body is light to medium with moderate carbonation. Goes down easy and quenching. A slightly dry and sticky finish. Solid.
More than decent. Again, almost no peanut butter but this is a slightly above average porter.

Nose is chocolate... and peanut butter. A touch of roast and lactose also. Sweet and smooth. Pretty good. Beer opens sweet with hints of chocolate, roasted malt and a light tartness. Peanut butter is mostly missing in this one, which is a little disappointing but its not bad. Some peanut shell and casing. Body is light to medium with moderate carbonation. Goes down easy and quenching. A slightly dry and sticky finish. Solid.
More than decent. Again, almost no peanut butter but this is a slightly above average porter.
