4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20Lovely beer. Makes me want to go out and buy a box of milano’s. Pours a wonderful brown color. Smells of mint and more mint, yum. The flavor of the maduro mixed with all that mint and hints of chocolate is friggin great. If it had a bit more coco in it this beer would be straight ridiculous.

Chocolate and mint on the nose, light dry roast. Pours brown with no head. Really nice chocolate and mint flavors with a little roast. FInishes a little thin but leaves something to be desired.

Ryan shared this a while back, poured a dark brown color, aromas of the traditional oatmeal rasin cookie but with mint add to it. Flavor is the same, exactly like an Annie’s mint real nice beer.

Entering old rates. Jan ’11 and Dec ’09. Bière légère pour la saison festive. Brune, avec col léger beige. Arôme rappelant un peu la Maduro avec une dose fraîche de menthe. Je ne suis pas spécialement un amateur de menthe dans tout ce qui est chocolat, mais je dois dire que ici, cette bière se boit facilement. Garde un côté Noël avec épices américaines et de pain d’épice. Le tout sur un malt grillé et caramel. Agréable surtout que on ne ressent pas ce fini frais menthol de pastille à la menthe.

Growler from the brewery. Pours amber with a off white head. Nose is roasty, caramel, oats and mint.
Mint more evident in the flavor profile. Very nice, clean and refreshing. Glad I got to taste this one.

Dark brown color. Aroma is sweet, some chocolate and light mint. Flavor has a bit more almost cooling mint but more as it warms. Up front just malty sweetness and chocolate and some nuttyness.

Growler from dodbeerigos. Pours dark brown tiny head. Aroma is girl scout thin mint cookies. Taste is fresh mint upfront then finishes with a nice roastiness and some herbal notes. Very good for a mint beer. Very different. Glad I got to try it.
