3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20Thanks to BA Funkel81 for the extra! 12 oz. bottle served in a Deschute tulip.
A: Pours a dark black color with a nice and thick tan head forming on the pour. It recedes slowly to a thin ring that leaves some sticky sheets of lace.
S: Pure mint leaf up front with a nice roasted malt presence. There is a nice chocolate subtly as well.
T: The mint and chocolate combo really works without the mint being overpowering. The roasted malts give a nice change from the sweetness. A little espresso bean even peaks its head around as well.
M: Medium to heavy bodied with a smooth, medium-low carbonation level.
O: This beer definitely worked and it was nice. More mint came in as the beer warmed and it was nice to have this mint be a mint leaf/Junior Mint type of flavor as opposed to Colgate. Would recommend if you can find it.
