16 oz can with an terrible stamping...10/22/...gibberish
Appearance is really pretty. Deepest brown, spent motor oil in color. Cocoa colored crown is thick and sticks around, initially 2 fingers but settles in at a consistent 1/2 inch. Great retention, layered lacing.
Aromas of chocolate, peanut butter abound. The hint of marshmallow is light.
Flavor follows the nose well but makes a bit more space for the marshmallow and creamy milk sugar.
Mouthfeel has some good qualities but lacks heft, a bit thin for style.

16oz can. Date stamp on bottom is off center but reads 'PACKAGED 10-23-24'.
Dark brown colored body,with mahogany brown back lit edge. One thick finger of beige colored head, and this subsides to a full cap and ring. Leaves behind partial walls of lacing.
Aroma is big with chocolate and peanut butter, with the marshmallow just a brief whiff.
Taste is roasted malts, with extra flavors of milk chocolate and peanut butter. The marshmallow emerges late and seems to be an intruding artificial flavor except at the very end where it clarifies. Quite sweet, and without bitterness. Aftertaste continues with the chocolate, peanut butter, and marshmallow.
Medium mouthfeel, with a light stickiness. Smooth finish. Very good carbonation.
The nutty aroma enhances the chocolate and marshmallow sweetness in each sip.
