Beer I Had: Peanut Butter Milk Stout (Nitro)

When you think Belching Beaver, you think of this! I ordered the Peanut Butter Milk Stout on nitro (nitrogen gas pour). I’d had this beer before at TeKu Tavern + Cafe in Seattle, but drinking it fresh at the actual brewery was on another level entirely.

Style	Milk Stout / Sweet Stout (BJCP 15B) – Nitro Pour
ABV	Approx. 5.1% (check the official site for the latest info)
Appearance	Near-black dark brown with a creamy head
Aroma	Peanut butter, chocolate, roasted malt
Taste	Sweet and creamy. Peanut butter flavor takes center stage with an incredibly smooth mouthfeel

The luscious sweetness combined with nitro’s signature smooth mouthfeel creates a heavenly pairing! It’s so comforting you could drink glass after glass. The dessert beer execution is superb, appealing to both newcomers and seasoned craft beer enthusiasts.
