Best sipped slow from a chilled pint glass or mug, this Peppermint Bark Stout is particularly enjoyable as an after-dinner indulgence, where its notes of dark and white chocolate and faint, cool, peppermint edge can be paired with a nice slice of cake or a Peppermint Brookie. Just be sure to pick up a four-pack soon, because Hardywood® Peppermint Bark Stout is only available for a limited time.

Can from Trader Joe's Northville. Pours a deep brown to black with a full 2 fingers of beige head that lingers. Big peppermint and dark chocolate aromas right off the rip. Palate shows more peppermint and dark chocolate with some light coffee and vanilla notes. Peppermint and dark chocolate lingers on the finish. Awesome stuff!

16oz can. Poured a nearly pitch black color, maybe a bit more like dark cola in color and consistency. Medium sized light tan head. Aroma was light peppermint and chocolate. I kind of expected this one to be very heavy on the peppermint, but the slightly more subtle character was really nice. Kind of on the thin side, but really nice light peppermint character that doesn't overwhelm the base beer.

Can from Trader Joe's in Davis, CA. Pours dark brn/blk with a slight dark tan head. Aroma of peppermint. Approaching full body. Flavor is peppermint with some roasty dark malt. Not dry and peppermint stands in for bitter. Very smooth and tasty.
