Deep dark brown coloured body with a thick, three to four centimetre tall off-white and light tan head that stays afloat nicely. Aroma of peppermint, fake nuts and earth, a dash of soured notes (i’m not sure where they come from!) and some deep dark malts with some burnt aspects. Medium-bodied; Soured and very funky fake peppermint notes with a lot of roastiness along with some nutty qualities and a slight rustic earthy and musty finish with the grain finishing it off and a good deal of sugars at the tail end. Aftertaste shows the fake peppermint notes with some wierd sour flavours that are pretty noticeable and strong with a lot of sugars at the end and some roasty malts, but little of a body or robust beer throughout. Overall, a super odd and funky soured, barely minty, but super fake beer that has some good malt notes and a lot of caramelised sugars, but the mint and somehow sour components remain strong throughout - very interesting and not great for the style or the season, which is why I’m slightly happy to have this in May and not December! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from ABC Spirits in Lake Buena Vista, Florida (Store #004) on 30-April-2022 for US$4,89 sampled the next day here at my hotel in Bonita Springs, Florida on 01-May-2022.

Can thanks to Rob. Pours a dark brown with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is intense peppermint, cocoa, roast. Slick body, milk chocolate, peppermint, boozy, nice sweetness, very good.

16 oz. can. Drank from the can. Strong milk chocolate aroma. I don't smell any peppermint. Flavor matches the aroma. Dark and milk chocolate flavors dominate. Smooth. Very little peppermint flavor. Great dessert porter!
