Full name: Peppermint Mocha Cow Cow Chocolate Milk Stout.

Pours black with a nice head of foam amidst medium carbonation. Aroma is chocolate and coffee. Taste is overwhelmingly coffee, pushing aside any other flavor profiles, with a milk chocolate secondary profile following. Some faint milk sugar is present but crushed by the brute force of the coffee. There are multiple flavorings in this beer -- chocolate milk stout with milk sugar, coffee, chocolate, and peppermint. A lot of profiles but coffee dominates here. Peppermint isn't even a hint.

 

This beer pours a so!id black brown with a fairly large head. The aroma is straight up hot cocos with peppermint. The taste fol!ows - full flavored, hot cocoa, mocha, and just enough peppermint to get the idea. Ths mouthfeel.is fairly full, with a foamy carbonation. Overall a deftly executed beer with surprising balance.

 

 

 

 

 

Poured 16oz can into tulip. Very dark brown that looks like Hershey's chocolate syrup with a 1 finger thin tan head that fades into thin ring with minimal lacing on my glass. Aroma is dark chocolate peppermint patty with hints of cold brew coffee. Caramel with vanilla and milk chocolate. The taste is dessert like, with creamy dark chocolate covered peppermint, The coffee and mocha are very faint, but progress as the beer warms. Medium feel with soft carbonation. This is sweet, but the peppermint and coffee help reduce if from a cloying sweetness. I enjoyed this even more than I thought I would given some of the other encounters I have had with sweet stouts.

Pours a deep dark brown with a thick mocha head that falls away quickly but leaves good legs when swirled. Aroma is peppermint forward with some dark roasted malt. Flavor is sweet like a junior mint, bordering on too sweet. Feel is medium bodied. Overall a nice dessert beer that should be shared given it's 16 ounce can format.
