Pours motor-oil thick black in the glass with subtle dark brown undertones and fluffy off-white head. Our monstrous roasty-boozy-semi-sweet stout base, conditioned on an insane quantity of roasted peanuts, cacao nibs, vanilla beans, pretzels and sea salt. Drinks like a liquified dark-chocolate-peanut-butter pretzel bite. Smooth, creamy finish. Contains lactose.

Poured a black body with minimal khaki head that slowly died. The aroma struck me as mostly mild coffee and some chocolate. Has notes of coffee in a medium to thick body that also has notes of chocolate, nuttiness, touches of vanilla and booze. Beer is slow sipping as it gets a little sticky at times and there is a touch of the sea salt on real dry finish.

16oz can with cool artwork, even though it looks like a lot of the artwork that is going around these days

Dark, blackish, brown head. Smell is the high point here: lots of chocolate with some savory nutty baked bread aroma and slight hops. The taste is immediately very bitter, with a lot of coffee (even though it isn't listed as an ingredient), peanut butter, chocolate, cream and pretzels (which *is* kinda cool). The feel is harshly bitter and is frankly a pain to drink

Too bitter, the booze is the highlight sadly

A: The beer is jet black in color. It poured with a quarter finger high tan head that died down, leaving a thin layer covering the surface and a narrow collar around the edge.
S: Light to moderate aromas of peanuts and pretzels are present in the nose along with notes of chocolate.
T: The taste follows the smell and has lots of flavors of chocolate covered pretzels and peanuts.
M: It feels full-bodied and very smooth on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is incredibly drinkable considering its strength and does a very good job at masking any traces of alcohol from the taste.

A rich rich and deliciously addictive beer. Large, dark brown head, almost black liquid. Nice lacing for a 14 percent brew.

Great aromas in the glass. Coffee, chocolate, a waft of peanut butter. Molasses and a hint of peppery alcohol

Superb taste. All the components listed on the can show up. Vanilla, peanut butter, pretzels. All combining into a lightly salty, bittersweet mocha delight. Hops give a tight but smooth bitterness. No trace of alcohol.

Thick rich and creamy feel.

This is a great brew. Period
