Hop BroBeer Space on Tap in Motomachi, Kobe has just tapped Thriller Beach’s PEANUT BUTTER VANILLA MILK STOUT for the first time.
MugiPeanut butter and vanilla?! Is this basically a dessert in a glass?
Hop BroThat’s a pretty good picture. It’s a milk stout using Chiba peanuts, with vanilla bean sweetness and a very approachable 5% ABV.
MugiDoes “milk stout” mean actual milk goes in it? The name sounds seriously rich already!
Hop BroThe “milk” usually means lactose, a sugar yeast cannot fully ferment. It leaves sweetness behind and gives the beer a silky smooth body.
MugiWhat?! Even yeast has leftovers? And roasted malt plus cacao nibs make it taste like chocolate in beer form?
Hop BroExactly. Roasted malt, cacao-nib notes, and oats create a smooth chocolatey texture, yet the finish is said to stay clean.
MugiSweet but not too heavy sounds perfect after dinner! Now I want to try cheese and chocolate pairings too.
Hop BroThe tap list also has CRAFT BEER BASE’s leaf, Yotei Brewing’s EXPDTN, and Shiga Kogen’s HOUSE LAGER 3.02 Sankei Nishiki—a seriously varied lineup.
MugiHow am I supposed to choose? And Wu-Xiang Red Ale is almost kicked already—that feels like a beer emergency!
Hop BroBeer waits for no one. On Tap is in the basement of Kobe Plaza Hotel and opens at 3 p.m., so let’s go early for a fresh-tap tasting flight.
MugiDeal! We’ll start by chasing that peanut-butter-and-vanilla aroma—tonight calls for stout!

Made with peanuts, a specialty of Chiba, the milk stout layers the roasted richness of peanut butter with the soft sweetness of vanilla beans. Roasted malt and cacao nibs contribute a chocolate-like aromatic character, while oats give the beer a smooth mouthfeel. Despite its sweetness, the beer is described as balanced rather than heavy, with a clean finish. It is suggested as an after-dinner pour or alongside cheese and chocolate desserts.
