Tap at star bar. Weird pastry stuff. Mint, brown chocolate. Chocolate syrup tone, artificial and forced. Sweet, drinkable. Unique enough, sort of muddied. Meh.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a black color with a medium sized foamy brown head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma was dry with mint and chocolate. The flavor was bitter and roasty with cocoa powder and mint. Long finish with lingering mint. Medium body. Decent.

Tap bowsers. Root-beer brown eye. Flat. Is this a brown ale? Not sher. More like a flavored stout or porter, if you think about it. Taste is a little disappointing. Slight mint cookie and perhaps, if you look for it, some dark chocolate, but don't think this is sweet chocolate mint. Nothing like those girl scout cookies, heheh. Does not hide alky well. Medicinal in the middle. Yes, not as described, but still, can drink it. JMHO. Its a little better than an impy stout - fer sher.

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass; no bottle dating, but is a recent release . Pours opaque dark brown/black color with a 1-2 finger dense khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big peppermint, milk chocolate, cocoa, fudge, caramel, toffee, brown sugar, vanilla, marshmallow, brownie batter, and toasted dark/brown bread; with light notes of coffee, nuttiness, smoke, herbal, and roast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malt, chocolate, and peppermint notes; with great strength. Taste of big peppermint, milk chocolate, cocoa, fudge, caramel, toffee, brown sugar, vanilla, marshmallow, brownie batter, and toasted dark/brown bread; with light notes of coffee, nuttiness, smoke, herbal, and roast/toasted earthiness. Mild herbal/roast bitterness and increasing mint coolness on the finish. Lingering notes of peppermint, milk chocolate, cocoa, fudge, caramel, toffee, brown sugar, vanilla, marshmallow, brownie batter, toasted dark/brown bread, light nuttiness/coffee, herbal, and roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, chocolate, and peppermint flavors; with a nice roasted bitter/sweet balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Minimal bitter/roasted dryness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready, and slightly silky/sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 8%. Overall this is an awesome dessert style brown ale. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, chocolate, and peppermint flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the very mild bitter finish. Nicely rich without being overly sweet/heavy for the ABV. Perfectly balanced between all flavors, nothing is overwhelming. Tastes like a mint iced fudge brownie all the way though. A really enjoyable offering.
