This time of year, Dark Beer fiends guzzle all kinds of seasonal adjuncts. But rarely do they get the chance to sip a masterfully crafted peppermint Porter made from crushed up candy canes — no joke!

Abnormal Beer Co. had barely finished canning today’s Candy Cane Ice Cream Imperial Porter before fans were begging their local San Diego bottle shops to get some in stock. The 4+ rated Dark Beer brewing masters have created a sipping experience that’s getting everyone into the ho ho holiday spirit!

Sipping like a spiked peppermint hot chocolate, Candy Cane Ice Cream layers smooth creaminess and sweet vanilla against a roasty Porter base. Notes of rich chocolate and winter fresh peppermint swim in a boozy 11% ABV, creating a grown-up cocoa with an extra dose of coziness. Real vanilla bean and the addition of lactose create a subtly sweet flavor that finishes with a milk chocolate coated mouthfeel.

The brewmasters at Abnormal have been setting locals in a tizzy with their bold limited-release Dark Beers that sell out in 3 hours! And outside of their San Diego taproom, Tavour is the only place to taste this seasonal peppermint sipper.
