Canned 04/10/2020. Brewed in celebration of Six years. Very limited distribution.
The pour on this is fairly thin and frothy, with the beer itself a deep molasses brown color. The dark beige head rises quickly to about a finger above the body of the beer. It quickly fizzles out, however, leaving no traces of any lace. The beer settles flat. Poured at 55°.
After giving it a moment to greet the oxygen and open up, the nose really nails that of a peanut butter cup. Notes of milk chocolate and peanut butter balance well, and on the back end there's a good bit of toasted malt and coffee. Not anything overly complex, just an as-advertised beer.
The palate took me a minute to figure out, but what I primarily got was creamy peanut butter and chocolate with a touch of vanilla. As it goes down, however, I'm left with roasted malt and an unwanted metallic linger. I don't think it's oxidation; it's reminding me more of just poorly roasted coffee beans. Not too green peppery, just off. It's not overly distracting as it only comes out toward the back end of the sip, but it hurt the experience.
The mouthfeel here was this beer's real downfall. Soda thin, with an effervescent carbonation that's just too present. Immediately as you sip that lactose greets you with a super smooth softness, but that carbonation almost immediately swallows it up and leaves you with a thin, mildly sticky, lackluster finish.
