Tasting:	This beer pours a cloudy golden, with some suspended peanut butter chunks. The smell of the peanut butter certainly comes through, with a mild sweet biscuit-y note hiding in the background. The taste is kind of doughy but notes of peach are noticeable before some alcohol warming and a little bit of astringency. The co2 seems fine. The beer I tried was the last of the batch, and therefore a bit chunky, the chunkiness (and astringency) does reduce the drinkability a bit, perhaps some filtering after secondary fermentation will help.
