Canned on 10/25/21; consumed on 1/13/22
Pours a lightly muddled, deep mahogany-brown body capped with two fingers of soapy, dark tan foam; sub-par head retention fades to large gobs of bubbly cap and collar, along with sparse, webby lacing strewn around the walls of the glass.
Aroma opens to ample lager yeast against roasty chocolate malts and a touch of smoke as softer threads of creamy peanut butter underscore, with tinges of salt following suit for a more rounded composition.
Taste offers creamy cacao roast sporting a tinge of ashen smoke and building to a fuller char over the mid-palate; a nuttiness in the back end finds mineralic lager yeast as brown bread crusts accentuate lightly through the finish.
Mouthfeel shows a medium body, intermittent thinness, and carbonation on the lower end of moderate; creamy textures into the mid-palate phase into a rounded, charry grit on the back end, while the finish is relatively clean and quick.
Peanut butter is nicely impressed within the profile, aided by a leveling lactose and accenting salt; while the inherent lightness of the beer itself does few favors in amplifying these notes, the final product is one of relative simplicity and balance, a proper nod to the English Porter base; perfectly enjoyable if not entirely memorable.
