    Picked these babies up today, then promptly took them to the car wash with me. :stuck_out_tongue: I'll be drinking one tonight, and will report back. BTW - got em at Specs RR. They got 1 case, limit is 2, and they're in the back.

    Still have about a case of this up at Bangers. I like how they made three different labels for each of the collaboraters for this beer. The Iron Fist one is hilarious.

    This is a beer that definitely improves as it warms. First sip, cold and right out of the bottle, showed no real signs of the mint or chocolate flavors. After 5-8 minutes coming up to temp, however, its a totally different beer.

    Gentle mint flavor that is well defined but doesn't overwhelm the beer, with a nice chocolate backbone. I'm glad I got 2, and honestly might grab a few more if they're still around in a few days.

    I thought it was a chocolate bomb start to finish, but didnt get the mint as strong as I would of liked.
    Damn good beer nonetheless...

    I guess this hasn't made it to Houston yet. I haven't heard any of the Houston guys mention finding or trying any.

    I dont think its on tap there, I think they're selling the bottles. Their Fb post about it showed a picture of the bottle.
