Are there any beers made with peat?

I don't think that anyone actually uses peat in their brews, but there is peat-smoked malt. I made a homebrew with that last fall and used too much - it's almost drinkable now. (I'm not a big fan of that flavor, myself)
If I was looking for smoked beers, I would go for the Rauchbier style. It's a highly smoky style. Some breweries use peat smoked, some don't. To my taste, many of them taste like chewing on charcoal...

 

Made with heather but peaty taste is Fraoch

 

Usually the peat is used to smoke the barley for scotch. See above^^^

 

A beer brewed with peat would be, uh.... gross. As noted above, peat is used a a fuel to roast the barley in Scotch, but first it must be dried. Otherwise it's just mud-like semi-rotted plant material. To add it to a beer would be like taking a shovel load out of your compost pile and dumping it in the kettel.

 

I think a beer brewed with actual peat from a bog would taste like swamp water

 

OP - Give the Ola Dubh 1991 a whirl...got that band-aid container peaty mouth vibration thing going on. Cheers!

founders dirty bastard is meant to have " hints of smoke and peat" in the taste. so I am assuming it is some how used.

 

Furthermore's Three Feet Deep (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/14154/34044) supposedly uses a small amount of peat smoked malt (http://www.furthermorebeer.com/our-beer/three-feet-deep/), and is a wonderfully flavorful and drinkable stout. I found the smokiness to be a nice addition, present but not overpowering.

 

Peated malt shows up in a lot of beer, but Yeastie Boys Rex Attitude and Nøgne Ø 100% Peated both use 100% peated malt.

 

Attention, Rogue!!!!

 

Pretty sure Dogfish Head's Immort Ale uses peat-smoked malt.

 

Don't Scotch Style Ale's use peat in some cases? Old Chub, Dirty Bastard, Etc.

 

A local Iowa beer called Wooden Nickel Scottish Peated Lager by Back Pocket Brewing has some peat in it. http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/30553/64592 It is pretty tasty but not heavy in smoke flavor like you are looking for. Oaked Smoked Old Guardian on the other hand by Stone is very smoky. A little but much for my liking. http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/147/90189

 

I picked up a 6'er of Brau Brothers Bancreagie Peated Scotch Ale the other day. After a quick google search, it says "Bancreagie relies on a complex and deep malt bill, featuring authentic peat-smoked malt." Overall I liked the flavor profile they were going for, but the peat is a bit overwhelming.

 

Old Chub is a bit much for my taste. Tastes like bacon, and for once in my life I mean that in a bad way.

 

I can't imagine any batch with a significant amount of peat smoked malt. My wee heavy has a starting gravity of 1.120 and I use only five ounces of it.

 

Not sure how much peat flavor you're looking for, but Schlafly's Single Malt Scottish Style Ale was a peat bomb. More or less tasted like drinking a Scotch without the ABV but all the peat.

 

Just for the record, traditionally there weren't any Scottish beers made with actual peat whatsoever. And the only ones today that contain some peaty elements are those which have been malt whisky barrel conditioned (such as those in the Ola Dubh range etc.).

 

This one maybe:
