No bottling date (released on 1/18/22, so presumably bottled within a few days of that date); consumed on 1/30/22

Pours a viscous, pitch-black body capped with a short-lived half-finger of burnt mocha foam, fading almost immediately to a partial layer of cap itself quickly relenting to a void over the surface; a thin, frothy collar and the rare dot of lacing along the glass is what remains.

Aroma opens to rich peanut butter intertwined with fresh sensations of lightly toasted coconut, as sparse coconut rum shows floral undertones and brownie batter bursts over the middle; nutty oak brings burnt sugar and caramel to the back end, while rum pronounces more heavily on the close.

Taste brings toasted coconut and quickly fading peanut butter upfront as hints of shrubbery set an off-putting backdrop; coconut cream over the mid-palate is somewhat leveled by charry oak barrel, while fruity rum character counterbalances a bourbon heft fighting for prominence into the back end.

Mouthfeel offers a medium body with a wavering thinness alongside a minimal carbonation; slick textures trend creamy as a minimal char grazes the mid-palate before an oily heft into back end; a relatively palate-coating culmination with a rounded, sticky finish.

Rich and adjunct-dominant, resounding coconut is expressly layered against a denser, heftier peanut butter backdrop, allowing only sparse barrel notes to penetrate through; viscous and sweet, with some off notes detracting, the adjunct expression is more impressive, while the overall balance is tentative at best.
