claims that arose before this or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims related to advertising); and Okay, I get it. This is a peanut butter beer. Still there should be something to contrast the primary flavor, especially given that the one note is a bit astringent. Perhaps there is some lactic sweetness showing up with warmth. Whatever sweetness there is comes far too late and is far too subtle. The finish is unpleasant and lingering, with roasted malt far out of balance. Aroma: There is some vanilla then a ton of caramel aroma with a bunch of buttered popcorn scent. It actually smells a lot like high quality, fresh caramel popcorn.

I thought maybe I had just a single bad can, so the next day I tried drinking another can by itself.

They developed a 15-step brewing process with hops as an optional addition between steps 7 (wort) and 8 (copper kettle). Soooo 7.5? And their peanut butter beer is available year-round. And they’re future-friendly too. To avoid environmental waste, they send their used grain to piggeries and dairy farms. And no, it won’t get the animals drunk (or marinade them alive). The best by date on the can is December 2022, however, so unless it's two months off the beer should be fine.

Catawba Brewing’s Peanut Butter Jelly Time is a recreation of your go-to childhood lunch. This specialty brown ale is aged for weeks on raspberries and roasted peanuts. This Florida brewer makes batched by hand. The Fat Elvis is one of their experimental brews. It’s a Hefeweizen with peanut butter and bacon. Its ABV is 6%. Being a Witbier (or wheat beer), this is a double allergen ( gluten and peanuts) so approach it with caution. If you’d prefer a darker peanut butter beer, opt for the 7% Reeses-flavored Chocolate PB Stout. For a peanut butter beer, Guadalupe’s version has a fairly high ABV – 8.8% and an IBU of 20. This Texas brewery aims to make beers that are ‘well-balanced and approachable’. The kind of craft beer anyone can drink, not just the ‘artisanal snobs’. The team was trained at the Siebel Institute before opening their own independent brewing crew in 2012. At BB, we always find January is a quiet month for brewing – so we use this time to let our brewers flex their creative muscles and compete to produce a new beer recipe, in something we like to call the Brewers Challenge. Everyone throws their hat into the ring and we select the best three to be brewed in small batches and made available for sampling at our taproom. Come February, we ask visitors to vote for their favourite with a commitment that the winner will be scaled up and released as a LTD EDN beer in can later that year.Mouthfeel: The beer is full bodied and overly sweet. It is very difficult to drink given the odd flavors of the beer. You can buy Nut Crusher (their peanut butter porter) 24-7-365. It has an ABV of 6% and an IBU of 18. It’s infused with caramel and chocolate to highlight the rich peanut butter flavor. This beer won a gold medal in 2019 – it’s that good. But if you’d rather try their seasonal nut brew, sip their Mac Daddy Macadamia Nut Brown Ale. Its ABV is 6.06% and its IBU is 20. The best peanut butter beer is usually a porter or a stout. Though you can occasionally find a nutty Witbier at the bar. But with Terrapin, peanuts go best with Moo-Hoo, their milkshake stout. This 6.1% porter was brewed with peanut butter powder as a one-time release in 2014. They did a fresh batch in 2019 and might pop up again … if you ask the founders nicely … Taste – The taste begins with tons of sweetness, with lots of caramel, molasses, and brown sugar. Along with these, and anticipated from the nose, there is also a lot of roasted malt and cocoa flavors. The peanut butter is lighter upfront, gaining strength as the taste moves forward. At the same time the flavor also darkens, with more roast and some coffee coming to the tongue. A little bit of vanilla also joins in all while the sweet flavors of caramel fades at the expense of more molasses and brown sugar. AT the end a bit of bitter nut and more peanut comes to the tongue, leaving one with a very sweet and rather dark peanut butter cup flavor to linger on the tongue.

Meadmakers are also using peanut products to build unique flavor profiles. Superstition Meadery uses PB2 and has a smart way of fully incorporating it into solution. For example, Peanut Butter Jelly Crime is a peanut-butter-and-jelly mead made with wildflower honey, blueberry puree, and powdered peanut butter. According to Production Manager Jared Ro Bear, they mix all of the ingredients with water and circulate it in a closed system for a day or more to keep the peanut butter powder in suspension, before fermentation. The blueberry does something wonderful with the wildflower honey and peanut-butter powder, pulling everything together into the classic flavors of a PB&J sandwich. However, there is an unexpected and strong acrid scent present as well that is anything but pleasing to the nose.I was looking to try something new, and this beer caught my eye because I like stouts and peanut butter. Tin Whiskers has collaborated twice over the past year with Pearson’s Candy Company, creating homages to two of Pearson’s most popular candies with Nut Goodie Porter (a porter with peanut butter, chocolate, and caramel) and Salted Nut Roll Ale (a cream ale with peanut butter, white chocolate, and salted caramel). This year the theme of the Brewers Challenge was stouts – and Martin absolutely smashed the competition with his peanut-rich brew. When developing a solid base recipe for a peanut-butter beer, Junhke says to avoid making a beer that is too thin in body, especially when making 5–6 percent ABV stouts where roasted malts can leave the mouthfeel a bit thin. “Build the body in a way that you like, whether that be with lactose, maltodextrin, or a bunch of Munich malt. There are ways to do this without leaving too much residual sweetness. Stay away from high-Lovibond crystal malts as they may contribute more sweetness than you might be looking for.” O.H.S.O.

Nut Crusher Peanut Butter Porter is compared to a liquid peanut butter cup. A lower ABV than the rest of the bunch (6% ABV), it has notes of caramel and chocolate to go right along with the peanut butter. Gnarly Barley Brewing Co. | Hammond, LA

Bourbon Barrel Traxxx Night Fury is a heavy hitter weight in at 13.5% ABV. Not only is the imperial stout aged on peanut butter, but also coconut, vanilla beans, cacao nibs, and of course, bourbon. Dangerous Man Brewing | Minneapolis, MN The can design itself is also quite enticing, with complementary shades of brown depicting an assortment of peanut butter cups. Unfortunately, all the flavor has a strong chemical overtone that makes it in my opinion repulsive.
