Žatecký pivovar Peanut Milk Stout

◎ Aussehen

Deep mahogany to near-black in the glass, with opaque density characteristic of a milk stout. The head is modest but persistent, laying down fine lacing on the glass walls as you drink. Carbonation is gentle, creating a soft, creamy mouthfeel rather than aggressive bubble structure.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with rich roasted barley and cocoa powder, followed by distinct notes of dark coffee and toasted malt. Ground peanuts add a warm, nutty undertone that integrates smoothly with the chocolate tones. Lactose contributes a subtle milky sweetness that softens the overall aromatic profile without becoming cloying.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and full-bodied, with oat flakes providing a silky texture. Mid-palate delivers layered chocolate, coffee, and nutty peanut flavors, balanced by restrained bitterness from the Magnum hop (15 IBU). Lactose rounds out the sweetness without dominating, allowing the roasted malt character to remain prominent.

◑ Abgang

The finish is medium in length, leaving residual chocolate and toasted malt flavors on the palate. A gentle sweetness lingers without becoming sticky, while the roasted elements fade to a mild, pleasant dryness.
