Description
It all started with a humble homebrew kit and the drive to make better beer. Tired of the same bland and dated choices everywhere, Air Force friends Eric Wallace and Dick Doore set out to make the kind of beer that excited them; beer they wanted to drink. A hobby quickly became an obsession and it wasn't long before Left Hand Brewing opened for business on January 22, 1994. Left Hand has steadily increased its production, making the Brewers Association’s Top 50 Craft Brewers list in 2012.

Big can. Barely any peppermint in the nose. Nytro, so its completely flat but an animated pour. A little artificial in the flavors but the 9% is well hidden. A little weird on the taste buds but hey, I'm not much into sweet cloying stouts. Could do without this one.

12 oz can from Total Wine. Pours a crystal clear rusty bronze color with an off-white head and good retention. Good lacing. Light caramel malt aroma. Smooth and clean caramel malt flavor with just a hint of smoke in the finish from the toasted malt. Medium body. Medium-high carbonation. Low bitterness. Very good and very repeatable.
