I mean their "Helles" has that flavor...

I mean their "Helles" has that flavor...That keg blew a couple weeks ago. It's hard to go totally by memory. The mid palate thing I'm convinced was high sulfate. The peanut thing was subtle, and I suppose one could also call it "earthy" so I'm thinking it's fuggles.
I get a lot of peanut character from Maris Otter, especially when toasted in the oven for ~15 minutes.
I used to get kind of a peanut flavor from Fat tire, maybe dump one in to harvest the yeast?
Coincindentally, a friend wants to make a peanut butter beer (well, no, but his wife wants him to.) He doesn't fancy the mess of PB2 or the like. I recently suggested a good helping of biscuit or home-toasted pale malt to suggest peanut flavor.
