Saloon Door brewing's calling card is being the peanut butter guys when it comes to brewing. Their Fluffy Nuts cream ale is just the latest beer Bayou Barley has reviewed to confirm this!
Before Fluffy Nuts the only peanut butter beers we came across were stouts and porters. So the idea of a peanut butter cream ale was, to say the least very enticing. This delicious beer clocks in at a whopping 9.6% ABV!
Fluffy pours a clear golden color with a half-inch head. There is something truly amazing to be said about this beer's uniqueness. The marshmallow and peanut butter flavor notes blend together better than anyone could have anticipated. This beer has a very upfront vanilla flavor. The vanilla flavor is accented very well by the roasted peanut flavor on the back end.
This beer is hard to pinpoint where it belongs. We would not label it as something to throw back a 6 pack of. Though its drinkability, uniqueness, and fun complex experience keeps us coming back. Possibly the perfect beer for dessert on a Sunday evening.
I could see this going well with a banana split
