Defying predictability, just like the Peak District weather, we’ve crossed a full-bodied milk stout with sinfully rich peanut butter decadence to create a true adventurous palate pleaser.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 24 Apr 2026) Dark brown colour, almost black, with frothy beige head. Malty, roasty nose with notes of chocolate, nuts (hazelnuts, peanuts) and milky coffee. Malty, roasty taste with chocolate, nuts, nougat, peanut butter, milky coffee, vanilla and a mild cacao bitterness. Medium body, quite sweet. Rich and tasty, with lots of nuts. On the sweet side, but within reasonable bounds. Nice one.

440ml can. Pours a deep clear brown near black with a small tan head. Aroma is strong sweet nuts & dark malts. Beer is medium bodied & thankfully just mildly sweet, solid dark malts backbone & strong peanut flavour. Remarkable depth of flavour for a 4.5% beer and one of the best nut milk stouts I have tried.
Very good.
