Frango Mints ! (Remember Marshall Fields?) But in liquid form ! 10.5 ABV is hard to deny and OCB's mint is more convincing. (Frango Mints had too much mint oil/extract for me.)

With Dino's Mint, there is no need for an after-dinner cordial or chocolate dessert. As usual, Off Color is an excellent crafter and a good value ! I just bought a 4-pack, so my next can I will review.

But first, I want to comment on my favorite brewer. OCB does many things well and has for a long time despite their young age (barely adolescents.) But one of the best things they do is work a joke for the longest time and still, amazingly, be funny. More important, few brewers have three long product lines in their portfolio, particularly when not even 10 years old. OCB's Predator line is my favorite as I favor saisons. But their "Beer For" product line is a constant source of creativity and fun... albeit not always successful brewing experiments. OCB's third line is Dino. I am not an AIS fan anymore (being an old man), so you be the judge. And you know what ? Age matter as I can't remember the original joke behind Dino S'mores. If someone still gets the Dino joke, please tell me.

2/20/23 Well into my second can, what I like most about Mint is that it is not as viscous as the typically popular AIS. Viscous is common, but also gets old. Mint is refreshing.
