Can from Craft City. Pours orange tinge gold with a large foamy white head. Aroma is a mix of resin and tropicals - thinking some passion fruit and green melon. Maybe citrus. Med body or so. Flavor seems green melon, passionfruit and citrus with pale malt support. Dry. Hoppy. Moderately bitter. Nice.

16 oz. Aroma has notes of candy cane, dark bread, coffee, licorice, dark chocolate, molasses. Pours inky black with a one finger tan head with great retention. Taste is moderately sweet with a lightly bitter edge. Nice candy cane and chocolate flavors. Velvety mouthfeel. I love mint flavored stuff and I love beer, so this is a great, yummy concoction to me.

Not a bad milk stout, a gentle mix of milk chocolate, dark fruit, coffee cherry, vanilla, and roast. Grows too sweet as it warms—as most modern milk stouts do—but retains a nice coffee through-line and the malts are nice and toasty. Would love to try a version without the milk sugar.
