This impossibly delicious imperial stout is the result of our collaborative efforts with the fine humans of Bottle Logic. For this liquid candy bar, we carefully curated the flavor guestlist, adding gobs of roasted peanuts, coconut, and cocoa nibs. The resulting beverage is a full-bodied and positively exploding with all manners of dessert madness. If you were going to find a golden ticket in a beer, it would be this one.

Nice dark pour, good head.
From the smell, I was feeling something off. Was expecting some nice pleasant nose, but this seemed strange.
Tastes very bad. Like someone took a decent beer and just threw a candy bar in.
Not good at all.
Update on second can: A little better. Peanut nose, and strong peanut taste. Not exactly great tasting, but better than the first one I had.

Thanks to whomever sent me this 12 oz. can (might have been the Luscious_Malfoy fella). This thing has good lineage. Expectations sorted.
Black with little carbonation (most of my beers look half-dead; my pour technique must be full Miami Marlin). The nose is full Mounds: coconut & chocolate. Actually, I’ve never had a Mounds bar. Don’t know what’s in it. Maybe I should eat them if they taste like this smells.
Central Finite Curve is richer than Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud. Malt depth through Sunday (it’s Wednesday) brings sweetness, depth, & accents the added cocoa nibs for a thorough dose of chocolate. Lactose & coconut lean in behind the first wave, with the peanuts nearly lost in the stampede. Finish is the gum-peeling sweetness bouncing like an unmedicated six year old boy. Lush & creamy. I could almost drink more than one of these, if I had another. Almost. I’d like to.
This is a masterful rendition of a base stout with deft layering over that base (though the poor peanuts could have fed starving peasants or something). Excellent beer.

12oz can at share. Near black pour with a cap of silky brown head. Aroma brings chocolate, roast malts, coconut and peanuts. taste puts it all together like a candy bar, each of the flavors working with and complimenting the others. Rich, decadent. delicious.

Can from the Belmont Fermentorium.
Jet black with a dark brown head with excellent retention and lacing. The nose is decadent and rich with tons of coconut, dark caramel, a mild peanut note, a little almond and some chocolate. Rich, not particularly complex, but it hits the spot.
The palate opens with rich, sweet caramel syrup drizzled on top of toasted coconut and cacao nibs. Not a whole lot of peanut on the palate. About as much finesse as a jackhammer, but it delivers. Tons of milk chocolate. Sweet, full bodied, rich and unctuous on the finish. Tasty. Drinkability is rather poor, 6oz is plenty.
