Draft at Stone. Pours a deep brown, near black. Aroma is like a chocolate covered candy cane. Taste is mild peppermint chocolate, some roasted malt. Not as good as it smells but not bad..

On cask at stone. Dark brown pour, small light tan head. This treatment is dominated by peppermint. Like a peppermint chocolate candy. Light coffee and even some smoke. Leaves the breath feeling minty fresh. Tastes good, but too much peppermint, and the body was a bit watery.

On cask. Black with a fluffy tan head. Huge peppermint, chocolate, coffee, and roasted grain aroma. Tastes of chocolate and peppermint up front followed by earthy bitter coffee and roasted grain flavors and a nice smokiness throughout. Very good.
