Can from last season. Deep brown porter-ish pour, big foamy tan head. Definite nose of peppermint, maybe some chocolate. Peppermint carries in the taste. Peppermint can get a little cloying at times, though there is some milk taste, and the chocolate in the background.

Pint can - black pour - creamy texture - a lot of milk chocolate flavors, vanilla, understated but present peppermint - a bit of coffee and light tannic acidity - medium sweet - not super complex but tasty.

Can/Fest. A- Gingerbread, cocoa. A- Black color, black liquid, brown head. T- Cocoa, gingerbread. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- No gingerbread in here but that's all I get. Not sure what the deal here is. Definitely need to revisit apparently. Enjoyed it but don't recall getting any peppermint.
