Pours a clear, dark brown color. 1/5 inch head of an off-white color. Poor retention and poor lacing. Smells of mint, chocolate, hint of yeast, hint of pale malt, and alcohol. Fits the style of an American Stout. Mouth feel is sharp and clean, with an average carbonation level. Tastes of mint, chocolate, hint of yeast, hint of pale malt, roasted malt, and alcohol. Overall, the blend is too roasted and weak appearance, but good aroma and body.

2015 with foil wrapper. Best by 2/18/16.
Pours a dark chocolate brown to form a rather obsidian black with a 1 finger head in my medium snifter.
Aromas of Andes chocolate mints, espresso beans, and carafa malts.
Flavors are much of the same, with a minty tang leading off, followed by some roast malts, espresso, and chocolate. A finish of chocolatey roast malts and peppermint.
Feel is roasted and dry...perfect match for this mint stout. Nice roasty finish. Medium carbonation.
Overall, Mint Stout was a worthy trial. I'd have bought 1 or 2 more had I known it was this decent.

Mint Stout pours a black color with a small but lacing head. Nice big smokey malt aromas, with good hints of mint. Taste is a little smokey and sweet, lots of roasted malt flavors, with a sweet, but weak, mint flavor. Body is rather watery. Overall, not bad, it is weaker and lite.

Bubbly, not much mint taste, get the stout. Thin. Not bad but not really sure what to make of it.

Had a taste of this at the taproom. Not a bad stout. I wish it had a little less mint. This would be a lot better on nitro.

L-Dark brown....some lacing on glass
S-Mint up front...also roasty notes and java...some dark chocolate
T-A good dose of mint to this but it does not overwhelm the beer. The roasty qualities standup nicely to it with added dimensions of dark chocolate and java.
F-A bit thin for my liking...despite all the flavors it comes off as watery in the mouth
O-Decent enough and worth a try but not a beer I would buy again.
