Mild Peppermint Patty nose in the glass. But then some kind of lactic stuff. Brown to black body under a brief, fizzy head.
Taste is kind of sickly, I'm afraid. Can't tell the date from the stamp, but this is likely kind of old. And my experience with mint in beer is that it does not hold out too well.

Super deep dark brown coloured body with a nice, but fairly fast-fading two to three centimetre tall off-white head that is gone after a few seconds, but shows nicely at first. Aroma of roasted malt, molasses, pitted fruits, licorice, anise and a bunch of very fresh mint - very nice in the nose with a bunch of scents, especially the roasted malts and super fresh mints - very nice. Medium-bodied; Strong roasty notes show at first with a lot of molasses and earthy with slightly nutty and rustic qualities, but the sweetness is pungent as well as the fresh mint, which provides a nice balance and rich quality. Aftertaste shows some earthy qualities, a touch thin and a light malts without much body at all (which is fine, considering the 5+ years in the bottle) but a nice sweetness and better fresh mint make this rich and pretty robust with a nice balance considering the age that goes down easily (helps with the age). Overall, a good beer and perhaps a bit less pungent and strong than it perhaps could have been five years ago, but great to sample now and a good beer regardless of of when you have it or can get it - try it, especially in the wintertime, even in Washington it's great, but probably would be better up in the great state of Michigan! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle, purchased from Merchant's in Dearborn, Michigan on 10-December-2016 for US$1,99 sampled at my house here in Washington more than five years later at my house here in Washington on 23-January-2022.

Jet black pour with a medium thick rocky beige head that diminishes gradually to a film. Patchy lacing on the glass. Aroma of chocolate, malt and mint. Light to medium body with flavors of burnt malt, coffee and mint chocolate. The finish is chocolatey with a subtle mint aftertaste. Above average overall.

Bottle thanks to Alex. Pours a cloudy brown with small beigr hrad. The aroma is strong mint chocolate and wood. Thin mouthfeel with nice mint leaf, light roast chocolate. Good.

22 oz bottle. Pours black with a deep tan head. Aroma is exactly as the name and description suggest, mint chocolate cookie, beyond that suggesting licorice, slight roasted coffee. Minty cocoa flavor, slightly medicinal hinting at cherries and licorice. Be nicer with a fuller palate, though.

22 ounce bottle into pint glass; no bottle dating, but was released in bottles recently. Pours completely pitch black color with a nice dense 2 finger very dark tan head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass. Aromas of big dark chocolate, cocoa, roasted malt, mint leaves, toast, light char, light coffee, and light herbal hops. Very nice aromas with good balance, strength, and complexity of dark roasted notes with moderate mint presence. Taste of big dark chocolate, cocoa, mint leaves, roasted malt, light coffee, light char, toast, herbal, and light roasted earthiness. Lingering notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, mint, roasted malt, toast, coffee, light char, herbal, and light roasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice balance and robustness of dark roasted flavors with moderate mint; with zero cloying flavors present after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a creamy and lightly slick mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with pretty much zero warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a very nice stout! Nice amount of robustness and balance of roasted flavors with moderate mint flavor; and very smooth to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

Sampled at EBF Saturday afternoon. Solid black color with an off white head. Smells of chocolate and peppermint. Yup its a thin mint. Taste is very heavy on the mint with bits of chocolate and roast. medium body and carbonation level with a sweet almost syrupy mouthfeel. Decent beer and an A for creativity.

Draft at Right Brain. Pours dark brown with cola like carbonation and a fizzy head. Aromas are straight Thin Mints. Chocolate and mint. That’s it. Nothing more to see here. Actually, it smells great and makes me a little hungry. First sip is a little disappointing, though. It has the flavors promised in the nose, but they are a little washed out and watered down. The mint is stronger and the stout and chocolate take a back seat. It’s good and I was surprised to like this as much as I did, but I would have liked a thicker mouthfeel and a more robust stout to back up that mint.
