On cask at the Wine Merchant, Raleigh, last fall. Always a solid porter choice, I was tickled to see this variant. Body was slightly thinner than one would like, but the cask smoothness was a treat. Mint was sharp and not sweet, and used fairly subtly. A bit of a bump in dark bitter choc tastes, and this was a very enjoyable one-off.
