Candy Cane Nitro

◎ Appearance

Deep black color with a thin, persistent tan head sustained by the nitro infusion. The body is opaque and viscous, with moderate carbonation contributing to fine bubble structure and visible Schaumkleiden that cling to the glass walls.

◌ Aroma

Rich chocolate and fresh peppermint lead the nose, creating a complex and inviting opening. Behind these primary notes sits a subtle coffee undertone with hints of roasted grain and dark cocoa, while the 9.5% ABV remains integrated and warm without harshness.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with creamy sweetness from the lactose and chocolate malt, followed by spicy peppermint that builds through the mid-palate without overwhelming. The 65 IBU bitterness arrives gradually, balancing the sweetness with roasted coffee and dark fruit notes, while the full body and smooth mouthfeel remain prominent throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is warm and lingering, with peppermint spice and chocolate cocoa notes persisting on the palate. A gentle roasted warmth from the alcohol and grain adds depth to the aftertaste without becoming harsh.
