On tap at watering hole in Yoyogi February 2014. Served in a shaker pint. Deep black with a very small thin beige head. Girl Scout thin mint aroma with a hint of vanilla and coffee. Creamy mouthfeel. A slight peppermint pepper finish. Really well done!

6.5% Bottle from CBB. My first Valentine’s Beer of 2014 served in a snifter & paired with chocolate + a mint aero type chocolate. It pours a dark brown almost black with a thick head of tan foam which left behind minimal lacing. Great rich milk chocolate & light mint aroma. It really hits the mark in terms of aroma. It has a decent smooth creamy light-med body. The taste is mint which then segways into cocoa, milk chocolate & a dark bitter chocolate in the finish with roasted notes. I’m really digging this beer though as it warms up I can see the mint most likely comes from some kind of syrup. It started off strong but lost some steam as it warmed up. I still like it though.
