Rated to execution, or “how well did they hit their target?”
The pour is stout black with a light brown head that leaves rings of lacing. Pretty good for a barrel aged stout.
The taste leads and ends with peanut butter. There’s some stout around the edges and I think I caught a taste of bourbon, but everything is coated in peanut butter. A little more stout would have been nice.
The feel is lighter than the flavor suggests; I mean peanut butter is not thin. Lightly viscous, not bad at all.
OA, they certainly nailed the peanut butter aspect, but overwhelmed the base stout in the process.

Canned on 12-8-22. 12oz can poured into a tulip.
Pours almost black, small light khaki head that fades leaving decent retention and lacing.
The aromas have vanilla and peanut butter leading the way. Mild bourbon. Malts are there.
The flavors follow the nose. More peanut butter and vanilla leading the way. Some chocolate. Hints of caramel and toffee in the mix. The bourbon is mild and subtle but is still ultimately noticeable. It blends well with the peanut butter. Malts do their thing. Moderate sweetness with a lower bitterness. Mild warmth in the finish but the alcohol is still well hidden for the most part.
Mouthfeel is full-bodied with moderate carbonation. It's smooth and slightly sharp.
This is a nice barrel-aged peanut butter stout. It has everything that you'd expect, more or less. The peanut butter shines. The bourbon ultimately takes a backseat while popping up to say randomly, but that's okay. Well done.
