Sampled from the tap at Red Cow North Loop. Pours a deep brown with a light chocolate brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has an odd combination of sweet chocolate, vanilla, butterscotch and candy cane. Flavor is similar with sweet chocolate and vanilla up front but a finish of butterscotch and peppermint.
