This one pours a medium dark brown color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells like caramel, bready malt, dark chocolate, and coffee. There’s no peppermint on the nose here.

This has the perfect amount of mint for me, as I don’t usually like mint in beers. It’s subtle, but there, and plays well with the coffee notes. The base brown ale is solid if a little thinly flavored, with breadiness and some light caramel.

This is slightly watery and thin, but pretty drinkable overall.

I like this better than I like most beers with mint, but I wish it was little fuller and creamier.

Rich mahogany brown pour; fizzly cream head. Adjunct heavy aroma featuring Hershey's cocoa powder ...milk chocolate flavor, full on Andes mints. Peppermint addition gives a herbal/sour taste just short of grape must; ceylon cinnamon and vanilla undertones. Body is on the thinner side with an Egyptian cotton feel. Quality beer that delivers on its name, but really must be in the mood to consume more.
