Dan opens up a treat, Fort Orange Brewing Peanut Butter Stout, as his sixteenth beer from the NYS Craft Beer Box.

Fort Orange Brewing Peanut Butter Stout

STYLE: American Sweet Stout with Peanut ButterABV: 5.4%IBU: N/AAVAILABILITY: 16-Ounce cans, Draft (In Rotation)Stats above taken from the brewery’s can and Untappd.

Appearance

Deep, dark brown with a nice, tan head and little lacing.

Aroma

Roasty note from the malt meets the peanut butter in a nice balance.

Taste

The peanut butter tastes like a nice blanket over roasty stout notes. I love that the aftertaste echoes the same nostalgic flavor of after you have eaten peanut butter.

Mouthfeel

I could tell there was no lactose, but the mouthfeel was plenty full for a lower ABV brew.

Overall

This is clearly a play for desserts on a pairing perspective. I think this could handle a berry-based light sour combo a la Isley Brothers in Richmond for those that like to blend or mix. I think this is a good entry beer into the adjuncted stout realm before lactose and the ultra-high starting gravities come into play.

Cheers and remember:

Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.
