Can. Attractive enough pour. Not so into this one. Peppermint just doesn't work that well in beer. Needs a bigger chocolate tone or something. Sweet, but bland and boring at the same time. Nitro doesn't make it better, just easier to put away.

Dark chestnut brown with nice light tan head. Peppermint, chocolate malt, alcohol, and hay aroma. Moderately sweet light peppermint, chocolate malt, and mildly bitter hay flavor. Good smooth body.

Pint-ish can from Total Wine Appleton, 11/2/24. Black with a medium nitro brown head, good retention. Aroma of mint, chocolate. Taste is mint, chocolate, cocoa. Kinda expected more. Kinda simple. Decent.

Nitro at the Uprise Taproom. Pours black, with a big, frothy, tan head. The aroma is mellow mint, milk chocolate, cinnamon, and butterscotch. Sweet and malty, with no real bitterness. Medium body, smooth, and clean. Nice.
