Campanology Coffee Peanut Butter Cup Porter

 9% alcohol. Introduced in 2020. Brewed in Wisconsin by Octopi Brewing for Campanology Brewing (Trader Joe's). 

"Beer for dessert? Dessert beer? Both, please. And thank you.

Campanology Coffee Peanut Butter Cup Porter, typical of porters, is a dark beer. It starts with more sugar than usual (roughly 30%). This makes the end result sweeter. The extra sugar provides more food for fermentation, which also results in higher gravity; in this case, 9% alcohol by volume (ABV). It’s brewed with chocolate malt, roasted barley, and coffee. Milk sugar contributes a creamier mouthfeel and some peanut butter powder gives it, well, hints of peanut butter! These nutty notes ride on top of the dark, dense porter body and play upon the more prominent chocolate and coffee flavors.

What the occasion for this beer? No need to be too specific, although it makes a good end to a savory meal. It also serves nicely as a liquid dessert, by itself, or paired with one or two of our famous Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups.

We hinted at this in an episode of our podcast, Inside Trader Joe’s, way back in June, and now it’s finally here! We’re selling each 22 fluid ounce bottle of Campanology Coffee Peanut Butter Cup Porter for $3.99 (plus deposit where required), while supplies last!"
