Take a walk down Candy Cane Lane and experience the aromas of rich chocolate, fresh peppermint, and a hint of coffee. This smooth, full-bodied Imperial Peppermint Milk Stout is reminiscent of peppermint bark and will keep you warm and cozy on a cold winter's night. So snuggle up to the fire, and enjoy the mo-mint.

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.

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.
