4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20Color is a dark brown viscuousy liquid. Head pours very dark and a reasonable amount. Smell is a lot of sweet dark malts, not much hop characteristic. Mouthfeel is thick, and velvety smooth. Taste is not what you would expect. I would have thought this would have been a sweet stout with some mint flavor in it. In reality, it’s the exact opposite. At colder temperatures the mint is suppressed which really exposes the use of smoked malt. As it warms, the mint comes alive. Man this is good. Enjoyability 5/5.
