This version of Sludge is named after the poisonous nut and is flavored like the delicious peanut butter and chocolate treat of the same name. Thick and lightly carbonated, this sludgy concoction is loaded with real peanut butter, cocoa, vanilla, a dash of sea salt, and lactose. A blast of real salty peanut butter up front is followed by creamy chocolate and vanilla, especially as it warms.

No bottling date (released on 8/4/21, so presumably bottled within a few days of that date); consumed on 1/3/22
Pours a viscous, inky black body capped with nothing beyond brief shades of dark mocha froth crawling to the surface, encompassed by a rocky, temporary collar and nothing else, while no lacing holds to the walls of the glass.
Aromas of salted peanut brittle lead into fresh milk and gobs of silky peanut butter, an unattenuated richness barely maintained with hints of toasted malt over the middle as more nuanced milk chocolate meets rich cream on the back end.
Taste shows melted peanut butter dominant upfront, building to a cream-soaked peanut butter mousse impression over the mid-palate and more defined dark chocolate with milky accents into the back end.
Mouthfeel brings a full body with a bare-minimum carbonation, an oily density coating to a richly creamy mid-palate with minimal char; the intense thickness eases slightly into the back end, slickness glistening off the palate and finishing slightly warm.
Delivers the promised profile via a sloppy marriage of rich peanut butter against overwhelmingly milky overtones; little sense of roast and an almost sickeningly dense texture ensure little balance and minimal drinkability.
