This was a very sweet stout. I didn’t taste many adjuncts other than the peanut butter but that’s not necessarily a complaint. Smell was peanut butter mostly and it was a great collab. Only downside was the 12oz would’ve liked to enjoy some more.

More peanut butter than coconut which came as a surprise. The base was decently thick and really smooth, if you tossed this in a barrel I bet it’d be pretty similar to BA Cuppa PB & Coconut.

No bottling date (released on 11/10/20, so presumably bottled within a few days of that date); consumed on 12/10/20
Pours an inky, motor oil-black body capped with over a finger of bubbly, mocha foam, which retreats about as quickly as it formed to leave no cap and minimal lacing behind, and an ultra-thin collar ringing around the surface of the glass.
Aroma is distinctly nutty upfront, sporting floral coconut accents as a clean progression to thicker, richer notes of peanut butter develop with a charry malt and cocoa interlude; dusty ballpark peanuts and a steady coconut husk presence eases into the back end, where coconut oil with ever-present nutty influences closes.
Taste opens with hints of cacao and light malty roast as a brief prelude to nutty peanut butter coating the front of the palate, meeting the more tropical lightness of coconut as it progresses toward the mid-palate; peanut butter richness is light-moderate into the back end, where unique sensations of peppermint patty, mild wafer, and raw cacao mark an otherwise sweet finish with a tinge of char; coconut flakes/oil and a wisp of malty roast linger past the swallow.
Mouthfeel brings a medium-full body and a bare-minimum carbonation, instead highlighting an oily slickness with grit enhancing slowly, plodding across the palate over time with slightly bittersweet roast as the back end fades with a minor stickiness into a warming, surprisingly deft, and effortlessly creamy finish.
A predominantly nutty stout toying with alternating layers of sweetness and roast as the coconut influenced firmly from the background; despite the lighter roast and plethora of adjuncts at play, this stout avoids pastry territory while taking on an always intriguing, though at times confounding, interplay of the numerous peanut and coconut characteristics; a sensation of the experimental (and even culinary), yet surprisingly deft in design.
