A - Pours pitch black with a thin tan head. Light clingy lacing.

S - Aroma is huge peanut butter, milk chocolate and vanilla.

T - The taste is peanut butter, milk chocolate, coffee, vanilla, charred oak and some bourbon heat.

M - Medium/full body with medium carbonation. Creamy mouthfeel with a soft dry finish.

O - Really solid BBA adjunct stout. I wish there was more barrel presence, but otherwise extremely enjoyable.

2022 vintage (released on 1/11/2022); consumed on 12/10/2022

Pours an inky black body topped with nearly two fingers of taut, sudsy, beige foam; decent head retention yields an inconsistent layer of cap, a moderate, creamy collar, and the occasional web of lacing stuck along the walls of the glass.

Aromas of initial melted peanut butter find a tinge of graham cracker as creamy marshmallow encroaches into silky bourbon vanillins and a dark cocoa close.

Taste opens to airy, melted peanut butter meeting charry dark chocolate, sporting subtle tinges of bourbon oak and residual vanilla through the mid-palate while a hint of puffy marshmallow and an extended, pillowy char lingers.

Mouthfeel brings a medium-light body accompanied with a spritzy fluff of moderate-high carbonation; silky textures carry a light warmth through the mid-palate, leaving a subtle char drying steadily across a milder finish.

Supremely soft and with a modest pastry inflection, this BA stout pairs a deftly adjuncted base with solid barrel roast; a cautiously balanced, nearly elegant sweet sipper.
