16oz can into a pint glass. Canned 10/32/25, so 3 months old.

Jet black body, initially large foamy tan head which dissipates to a fat ring and covering, some streaks of lacing. Aroma is not that strongly of either additives. On tasting, malty. Some chocolate, PB hard to detect. It's somewhat sweet, but there is a pleasant enough roast in the finish.

Overall, a so so stout, not as decadent as I hoped. Of note is that the abv is well nigh invisible.

Poured room temp from a can into a 16oz pint glass.
Appearance is deep brown to almost black. With back lighting there is the slightest ruby hue. Foamy 3-finger medium-brown head that recedes slowly. Lacing evident on the glass.
Aroma is roasted malt, peanut butter, and milk chocolate. Some very subtle hop aroma working thru.
Taste is peanut butter, baker's chocolate, roasted malt, pastry/danish, and suble hops.
Mouthfeel is full and creamy. Slight dry finish. Wants to be sweet and dessert-like but there is a balance of hops and warmth from the alcohol.
Overall, this isnt terrible. But there is some chalkiness happening and a slight sour/astringent aspect which is taking away from the tasty forward chocolate peanut butter cup notes.
