Look: dark pour with slight to no foam risen to the surface.
Smell: Getting aromas of peanut butter, chocolate, definitely a sweet strong aroma with this one. Makes me want to dive right in to try this.
Taste: Getting a taste for peanut butter with a little chocolate, not to sweet but slightly sweet. Very good peanut butter milk stout!!!! Will buy again and probably quite often.
Feel: light to no carbonation - medium bodied beer.
Overall: This is top 3 peanut butter stouts I've ever had. It's so creamy and delicious that I'll probably buy the next time I go to the store. It's similar to a milkshake. Definitely try this if your a stout fan!!!!

A rather good choice to put on nitro. Very much chocolate and peanut butter in aroma and taste, no false advertising there. The ample nitrogenization is belied by its underwhelming appearance, but not lost in taste or feel. Otherwise similar to the regular version

Had this on 2022-01-08 near Pittsburgh, PA from a 12oz bottle
A - Deep, opaque brown with 1/2 finger light brown head when poured aggressively. Moderate lace.
S - Big, bold peanut and milk chocolate and espresso latte aroma.
T - Toasted brown bread smeared with Reese's spread while drinking a mocha latte. Moderate coffee bitterness in the finish for balance.
M - Full body and light carbonation. Creamy as hell and smooth as silk.
O - Rich and delicious. Reminds me of Pollyanna Brewing Company's Fun Size derivatives. Seek this out.

Absolutely amazing. The Nitro is cool and drinks a little better than the non nitro. It smells like peanuts. It has a creamy peanut butter taste with a tiny bit of chocolate on the end. Most peanut butter beers tastes like peanuts rather than peanut butter. Belching Beaver hit this one out the park. Definitely a top 10 beer.

Bottle poured into a Mountain Rambler Brewery pint glass
A: Pours cascading dark brown with a creamy tan brown head that hangs around and leaves some thick lacing.
S: Peanut butter comes out strong, roasty toasty malt, earthy, milk chocolate, and a little caramel/toffee sweetness.
T: Roasty, big milk chocolate, quickly followed by peanut butter, earthy, faint herbal tones, toasty bready malt, and caramel/toffee sweetness.
M: Light to medium body, mild carbonation, creamy smooth.
O: I remember not being overly impressed by the standard version, but I'm digging the Nitro version. Might be my new favorite winter crusher.

A-very dark, with no head, lots of visible carbonation
S-subtle coffee and nutty notes
T-distinctive nutty flavor that fortunately does not come across as fake syrupy peanut butter. Aftertaste suggests coffee, chocolate, and popcorn (?). Above average sweet, below average bitter.
M-light body, above average carbonation. The Nitro could have been more present if I had rolled the bottle before pouring.
O-solid stout with a distinctive flavor.

On-tap in Meridian ID, served in a chalice.
A: Dark black with a very creamy off-khaki, tight-bubbled nitro head.
S: Authentic peanut/peanut butter aroma; smooth, lightly-roasty, slightly-sweet, peanut butter.
T: Yes, more of the same; sweet and smooth peanuts and peanut butter; impressions of milk chocolate, honey, and banana; hint of espresso; roasty as well.
MF: Fluffy and creamy nitro body.
O: One of the few brews that works very well with a nitro treatment; the flavors don't seem to be muted, and the brew is well-integrated and fairly complex. Love it.

*Poured into a Teku glass from a 12oz bottle*
This beer poured a dark cold brew brown. The head was super thick, creamy looking, and khaki colored. This had the satisfying nitro look that I love. Very satisfying to look at with all of the rising bubbles coming up.
The aroma was very similar to the non-nitro version of the beer. I got big notes of peanut butter in the front, almost like you're smelling a nutter butter. I also got pleasant notes of chocolate and coffee in the back-end. The front aroma of the peanut butter also kinda reminded me of cashews and cookie butter.
The taste more or less follows the nose, but I found that the taste on this was very sweet. Cloyingly sweet in my opinion. Of course, the peanut butter is very prominent upfront, but then this evolves to a more coffe and chocolaty taste in the middle. I felt like there was a popcorn kernel-like taste to this beer towards the finish and aftertaste which were coupled with a more mellow and creamy taste of peanut butter.
The feel on this was definitely the highlight of this beer. As you would expect, this was very very smooth and creamy to drink. This stout was definitely full bodied and was high in carbonation. Absolutely no bitterness in the taste and was very easy to drink. You definitely don't taste any alcohol in this.
Overall, I loved the feel of this beer more than the original, but the original tasted much better, presenting more of a balance of flavors. This was just too sweet. I think I'll just stick to the original one.
