A barrel aged imperial stout with peppermint. The mint is gentle, so the chocolate, coffee and barrel flavors lead.

The site says it distributes across a good portion of the Midwest and lists its distributors, but names no states beyond Indiana. The beer finder shows where bottles and cans are in stores, bars and restaurants, and the site advises calling ahead. Side Trail beers are sold only on draft at its taprooms and brewpubs.
