From the label“This majestic beer started with our Imperial Stout aged in Kentucky Bourbon Barrels for 10 months. Balanced bitter intensity & soothing chocolate notes are layered with flavors of oak & aromas of vanilla. Polar Bear Kisses will envelop you with bursts of dark chocolate notes but an addition of peppermint will blow cooling minty kisses in your direction. We've always wanted to explore the Arctic to find this northern cousin of Teddy Bear Kisses. Now that we've found it, we won't be finding our way back anytime soon. Leave your parkas at home & embrace the cold with Polar Bear Kisses.”
