No canning date (released on 9/25/21, so presumably canned within a few days of that date); consumed on 12/7/21
Pours a jet-brown body trending black and topped with over two fingers of fluffy, soapy, dark khaki foam; decent head retention leaves vietually no shades of cap, a thin, frothy collar, and no lasting lacing holding to the walls of the glass.
Aroma opens with chunky peanut butter atop dark chocolate integrated with flaky roast, though fading quickly to milder soft cacao over the middle and and expanding milk chocolate nib bittersweetness into the back end of the bouquet.
Taste shows distant peanut butter overriden with charry milk chocolate, meshing indiscriminately into a vaguely metallic tinge over the mid-palate; the oncoming used coffee grounds and sharper roast of the back end find black bread crusts and a cocoa dusting on the finish.
Mouthfeel brings a medium-light body with a lower carbonation; creamy textures give way to a soft slickness, thinning over time to an almost watery texture past the mid-palate, where a wispy char on the back end is largely overcome by a flattening finish.
The initial peanut butter nose held promise swiftly dissolved in a weak and inconsistent base stout, both somewhat metallic and tentatively adjuncted in this faulty attempt at the PB/chocolate pairing.

Very good head production, but it's quite fizzy, and quickly fades to nothing, not even a thin rim around the edge to remind you of its presence. Body is a shade darker than cola black.
Nose is, if you'll excuse me, fairly straightforward "stout": coffee, red grape, prune, cola, coffee, molasses, and Baker's chocolate. Very little notice of the peanut butter or added chocolate. Light roast and char.
Moderately roasty on the palate, with notes of toast, espresso, caramel, molasses, light char, nuts, bitter dark chocolate, and prune. Neither the peanut butter nor the added chocolate are particularly noticeable; they're present, but they hardly define the beer.
Moderate, leaning full, bodied, with plenty of carbonation sting - but not too much. Slick, slightly sticky finish.
