Description: When we brewed our last batch of Leon Russian Imperial Stout (which was the tank/batch that ended up in Wild Turkey bourbon barrels last week) we decided to use the extra runnings from the mash to make a 'small' beer. Small beers are low alcohol beers usually made from the extra wort of a large beer. So, in this example, this is a small beer from the high gravity mash from Leon, and what we came up with is what we're calling Hop Nut American Brown Ale. Hop Nut comes in at 3.9% ABV and as an added twist, we brewed it with 10 pounds of dried, pressed peanuts (which have 85% of the fat and cholesterol removed). When hydrated that made 27 pounds of peanut 'butter'. We also finished this beer off with a heap of Citra hops giving this beer a complex mixture of toasty bread, roasted, chunky peanut butter, hints of chocolate and coffee, and a firm resiny, citrus hop bitterness.
