16 ounce can, no dating I noticed on it. Served in a snifter, the beer pours dark brown/black with about an inch tan head that stayed around a while. There's also a lot of lacing. I like the aroma, the brew smells like dark chocolate, peppermint, roasted malt, vanilla and bourbon. Taste is similar to the aroma, but with the addition of some burnt/charred malt, coffee and some earthiness. Peppermint stands out to me here. Mouthfeel/body is full, it's creamy and a bit coating with a good amount of carbonation. I liked this brew, but wish it was a little less minty. Worth picking up, especially if you like peppermint!

The iconic Kentucky brewed Imperial Milk Stout of Against the Grain gets a bit of a holiday facelift with both chocolate and peppermint.
70K Chocolate Peppermint gets going by building a tarnish lather above a dark brown beer that settles patiently into the glass. As a sultry chocolate, spice, whisky, oak and earthy aroma swirls about the nose, the flavors lead with chocolate, coffee, toffee, caramel and vanilla in a smooth and milky texture.
As the sweetness settle onto the middle palate, the more coffee-like influences from roasted grain bring a toasty, cocoa and coffee character to swell above the flavors of milk chocolate. Mossy, gamy and earthy in its barrel portrayal, theres a soilish musk that permeates the late palate and gives the session and unclean flavor and feel.
The peppermint that provides an overcast of brightness and spice continues to grow into the finish for a sensation of peppermint patties with a kiss of whisky in the beer's waning flavor. Full bodied, creamy and earthy, the barrel aged stout lingers with musty woods and a general mossy character.
