Thanks all I've tried to make a peanut butter porter before. It wasn't a bad beer but was lacking in the peanut department. I had used something like 400g PB2 in the FV and that is probably not the best way to do it. I just had no desire to clog up my brewing system with peanut butter goo by putting it in the mash or boil. Peanuts are very oily and head retention suffers a hit because of that. I think the best bet would be water based peanut flavouring but that is as scarce as hen's teeth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brauhaus Fritz Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) The flavour in this peanut butter porter is roasted hazelnuts, it works quiet well. thought I had photo of ingredient list of can, must have deleted it Edited July 21, 2022 by Brauhaus Fritz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brauhaus Fritz Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Found this so: Originally conceived by our head chef, this beer was inspired by ‘Buckeye Candy’. Moreish peanut butter fudge balls partially dipped in rich chocolate. Go on, Google it. Our mouth was watering when we did. Brewed with chocolate malt, chocolate wheat and hazelnuts, the hero in this creamy, decadent and full-bodied porter is the peanut butter character. Malt: Vienna, Caramalt, Chocolate Wheat, Pale ChocolateHops: PahtoOther: Lactose, Hazelnuts6.4% ABV | 22 IBU | 355ml Cans | 4x355ml Packs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how they get that flavour but I like that beer. A lot. The problem is that $11 for a 440ml can is not really cheap. Another good one is Creature of the Night by Aether Brewing but that is fairly hard to get. That one is made with flavouring from what I was told at last year's GABS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a 4 pack for $24 from the brewery. Nearly placed an order today but with two weeks off work can’t really afford it.

I think its a trick of your mind. As a lover of hazelnuts I can really taste the roasted nuts, but I think the overall creaminess and mouthfeel is what makes you believe that it is peanut butter. Maybe the lactose? Or maybe the Patho hops helps as well (Pahto is a bittering hop that is commonly used only to bitter the beer during brewing, and not for too much flavor and aromas. When used as a bittering addition hop, Pahto provides a very neutral flavor to beer, and a pleasant, smooth bitterness. The aroma profile of the hop cone is described as herbal, earthy, woody, and resinous with some fruit.) Good luck on your experiment 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
