Hop BroToday's topic is a fresh new tap at Bar FUKURO in Kamata: Cycad Brewing's Peanuts Butter Portaro.
MugiWait, a peanut butter beer? It's a drink, but it sounds like something from a sandwich shop!
Hop BroAnd the style is a flavored porter with 5.5% ABV. It's in the dark-beer family, but built to stay easygoing.
MugiHold on, what even is a flavored porter? That sounds less like beer and more like a superhero title!
Hop BroBasically, it's a dark beer where roasted malt character gets layered with extra aroma. This one uses loads of peanut powder, so the nutty note pops right from the first sip.
MugiOoh! But if it gets too sweet, won't it turn into dessert in a glass?
Hop BroThat's the clever part: it doesn't lean too hard on sweetness, and instead drinks on roast-and-aroma balance. Even people who usually avoid dark beer could get into it.
MugiThat rules! It looks like a dark beer starter pack, then sneaks in with a peanut uppercut!
Hop BroBar FUKURO also announced special hours on August 10, and on August 22 from 15:00 to 24:00 they're hosting GRANDLINE Brewing TTO.
MugiThat's a dangerous amount of good news! My August 22 plans are basically writing themselves now.
Hop BroFirst, I want a casual pint in Kamata and to see how drinkable that toasty porter really is.
MugiSame, I'm sold! I want one right now, and I kind of need Peanuts Butter Portaro to rewrite my dark-beer expectations.
New tap
On August 6, Bar FUKURO announced a new tap beer from Cycad Brewing: Peanuts Butter Portaro. The brewery is based in Nishi-Ikebukuro, Tokyo, and the beer is listed as a flavor porter with 5.5% ABV.
The post describes it as a beer brewed with plenty of peanut powder, bringing out a toasted peanut-butter aroma from the first sip. It keeps the sweetness in check, leans into roast character, and finishes clean. In other words, it is pitched as a dark beer that should still work for people who are not usually fans of black beers.
