Peanut Butter Milk Stout Nitro

Tap to rate

Roasted coffee, milk chocolate, brown sugar and vanilla cream meet the sweet and savory sides of peanut butter, with a nutty note from the peanuts. Nitro smooths the mouthfeel; a hard pour from the bottle releases the gas and builds a thick, pillowy head. It starts from Left Hand's Milk Stout, brewed with lactose, peanuts and natural peanut butter flavor, at 6.2 % ABV.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Peanut Butter Milk Stout Nitro

◎ Appearance

Deep brown to near-black in the glass, with opaque clarity characteristic of the style. The nitro carbonation delivers a thick, pillowy head that clings persistently to the glass, creating substantial Schaumkleiden with each sip. A hard pour amplifies the visual drama, building impressive head retention.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with roasted coffee and dark chocolate, underscored by a warm vanilla note. Peanut butter and roasted peanuts emerge clearly in the mid-range, adding sweet and savory depth. The overall impression is balanced between cocoa-forward maltiness and nutty adjunct character, without aggressive hop presence.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and creamy, with lactose providing body and sweetness. The mid-palate develops brown sugar and roasted grain flavors, complemented by peanut and chocolate notes that build gradually. Bitterness is restrained at 25 IBU, allowing sweetness and nuttiness to dominate; the finish leans toward cocoa and peanut rather than hop bite.

Slightly warmer than you might expect. 10–13°C lets the roasted malt, chocolate and coffee notes open up fully.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink within a year. Standard stouts are best fresh but hold reasonably well for 6–12 months.
