Hello, lovers of minty confections. Glad tidings, enjoyers of dark chocolate. This one's for you and your refined palate. Brewers (and peppermint bark enthusiasts) Eric Fallon and Alfonso Servey created this recipe on our small batch system last winter, based on a homebrew that utilized bark from that well-known grocer where the clerks wear Hawaiian shirts. You know the one. The chocolate & lactose give this seasonal delight a pronounced richness that's balanced wonderfully by the cool rush of mint. So please, allow yourself to give in to "that time of year." You deserve a little treat - for having such good taste, of course.

Aged two years; picked it up at Stone in Oceanside. Right outa the fridge, pours 1/2 " of tan head that slowly settles to a ring.
First off, I get the mint, and a sweetness like caramel, on the nose.
Lots of mint in the flavor, Ima let it warm up a bit. Prickly carbonation; perfect, for my taste with any beer. Bit of lacing down the glass. Nice medium thick viscosity.
Starting to get a sweet, condensed milk note on the nose. My mom used to boil a can of condensed milk and it turns into caramel; reminds me of that.
Now that its warmed a bit, It's like a peppermint candy dipped in condensed milk; very nice. I'd like to try it fresh sometime.
