Bad Shepherd Peanut Butter Porter 6.4% 355mL — Rich, Nutty, Dessert-Ready
🥜 Peanut butter porter done properly — rich, creamy and built for anyone who likes their dark beer with a dessert edge.
Brewed by Bad Shepherd Brewing Co. in Cheltenham, Victoria, this porter uses Vienna, Caramalt and Chocolate Wheat malts to create a deep, rounded malt base. Lactose adds extra body and softness, giving the beer a smooth, creamy texture that suits the peanut butter character.
The profile is full-bodied and indulgent, with roasted peanut, chocolate and caramel notes sitting over a soft porter backbone. It feels rich without becoming too heavy, making it an easy pick for cooler nights or dessert pairings.
At 6.4% ABV, it lands in a flavour-packed but still approachable range — big enough to feel satisfying, smooth enough to enjoy without overthinking it.
