11 December 2022. Christmas Beer Evening @ home with the lovely Anke!
Can from Trader Joe's, San Diego.
A: hazy black, small, frothy, beige head.
A: 'After 8' chocolate, cappuccino, fondant, clove.
T: sweetened fondant, cream, mocha & spices.
F: herbal hops, more mint & 'After 8', coffee.
P: medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation.
That's peppermint alright, but I don't get the white chocolate here.

Tall US can @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, March 22. Pours dark with medium beige head. Gingerbread aroma, smooth on the palate, with subtle peppermint chocolate flavours. Interesting, a bit different.

Monday 7th March 2022, monthly beer exchange in Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Usual 5 suspects sharing beers and talking bollocks. I took the 16oz can of this, brought it back from California last week. It's black with a tanned head. Interesting thing really, peppermint and chocolate in both the nose and taste, not overly sweet, a bit like a one of those Quality Street 'Matchmakers', but in liquid form.
