One of the lucky few to have on tap at Hunahpu Day 2013. It poured a deep deep brown, nearly black, and was thick, but not as thick as say a Hunahpu. Smell was confusing, nutty and smoky. Taste was out of this world, was like someone had dropped a home made Reeses Cup on the middle of my tongue. Sweet Chocolate and deep peanut butter lingered for a while after swallowing. Just amazing. Best beer of the day for me by far.

on tap at hawthornes, served in Chimay goblet - part of the EBF kegs that came to Philly after the blizzard fiasco

Opaque chestnut brown pour with a collar of lacing, left behind by a thin tanned head.

Like a Halloween haul gone crazy - peanut butter cups, dark chocolate, coconut, milk duds and honey. Roasted malts, boozy glow and nuttiness.

Salty peanut butter, creamy chocolate and coconut up front. This is like drinking cake batter filled with a random assortment of candy, ranging from Reese's to Snickers. Incredibly expressive and interesting, nutty, roasty, warm and sweet throughout with a boozy, sugary finish.

Fuller body, slightly milder carbonation, sticky and chewy on the tongue. I can see some people thinking this was too sweet or perhaps too salty, but I thought this was hilariously delicious. If you're into peanut butter cups or candy (and I'm not even that into it), this is right in your wheelhouse.

First had: on tap at Hawthornes, Philly, PA

Dark brown-black pour with a foamy tan head that receded to a thick collar, leaving some lacing on the glass. "Peanut butter cups, milk duds, black licorice, chocolate-covered peanuts and salted caramel." Well, that's a way to get your expectations up. Unfortunately, it wasn't like that at all. In the nose, dark malts and burnt peanuts. Taste was about the same, burnt peanuts taking the foreground, notes of dark roasty malts, and a hint of anise and black tea. Mouthfeel was on the thin side, absolutely no doubting that this was a porter and not a stout, body was about medium, with a little bit of warmth from the alcohol coming through. Overall decent, but more so an ambitious attempt that ultimately fell short.
