Pours black with a creamy dark tan, the barrel is forward on the nose, and there’s loads of roasty char and dark chocolate aromas, but no discernible peanut butter.

The peanut butter is present on the taste, thought a nice nutty flavor that mixes really well with the subtle barrel and substantial char and dark chocolate flavors. Truly delicious.

The mouthfeel is creamy and fitting for the style. 18th Street did a nice job with this, IMHO.

Pours black and thick, thin layer of tan head dissipates quickly to ring of foam.
Nose is chocolate, coffee, slight peanuty hint. Reminds me of a fluffernutter.
Taste is thick sweetness, very chocolatey. Nutty notes remind me more of almond than peanut. Finish note is like a combination of raisinettes and whiskey. It feels a little heavy at first but the flavors blend really well as it warms up.
Mouthfeel is fairly creamy, but not totally thick.
Overall this beer does a great job of balancing barrel, stout, and peanut butter. The nuttiness compliments the beer rather than overpowering it.
