Are You Nuts

Tap to rate

A stout built with deliberate sweetness and depth. Roasted malt forms the backbone, while chocolate and peanut butter notes emerge distinctly in the middle—not competing, but layered. The body carries a creamy texture that softens the typical stout edge, and sweetness lingers through the finish without becoming cloying. At 5.9%, this drinks lighter than many in its class, making it approachable for an evening when you want substance without weight. Serve cool, around 50°F, to let the roasted character and cocoa undertones settle cleanly on the palate.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with roasted malt character—cocoa, dark chocolate, and a whisper of charred grain. Peanut butter emerges cleanly in the middle register, layered rather than competing with the chocolate. A subtle coffee undertone and faint dark fruit note round out the bouquet without dominating.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and sweetly malty, with roasted depth settling quickly across the palate. Mid-palate delivers the promised chocolate and nutty notes in balance—neither pushes the other—while the creamy body softens any astringency typical of the style. Bitterness remains restrained, allowing the malt sweetness and cocoa undertones to define the experience.
