Sampled from bottle @ RBBWG 2018, hosted by Beerlovers Bar, Antwerp. Dark brown color, small beige head. Aroma is toohpaste. Flavor is toothpaste and maybe a hint of malts an chocolate in the distance. Awful. Why, for gods sake why.

Bomber from the brewery, release wknd, kinda pricey 16$ for the end result. Brune foncée, col crémeux café au lait. Arôme met de suite les choses au point avec un fort effet spearmint ponctué par un léger chocolaté et rétro de cookie. Malt est là mais tout est dominé par l'effet de menthe. Palais est similaire et de suite une attaque buccale du spearmint qui est assez fort. Plaisant par moment, l'effet devient vite submergeant tant il est fort. Cela diminue pas mal le caractère de la bière qui garde une bonne note maltée, caramel, biscuité, cookie oreo avec une petite vanille qui est aussi plutôt en retrait. Chocolaté sur effet cacao revient sur la fin, dommage, ok mais trop de menthe.

F: thin, tan, not long lasting. C: dark brown, opaque. A: huge mint, some mint chocolate, cocoa. T: huge spearmint, cocoa, chocolate, bit vanilla but very weak, bit sugary, yes quite minty straightforward but all together not such disaster for me, medium to full body, medium carbonation, almost enjoyed :), 65cl bottle sampled @ RBBWG (10/03/2018), many thanks Sebletitje.

Thank you Sebletitje! 650 ml. bottle sampled @ RBBWG VI (2018). Black, mocha head. Nose is straight up spearmint toothpaste. Taste is just peppermint, spearmint, chocolate, glue, spearmint chewing gum, peppermint toothpaste,.. Rather thin bodied chocolate syrup. There is no getting around the massive spearmint / peppermint taste of this thing – this is just a flavour profile that I think you need to have grown up with as a kid otherwise no. Cacao nibs & vanilla is completely lost.

Pretty cloudy red brown beer, small irregular beige head, little stable, non adhesive. Aroma: oh fuck, that's a lot of tooth paste, mentos and tick-tacks... MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: very minty, lots of chocolate as well, alcohol, soft roast, super minty. Aftertaste: more chocolate, very minty, not as bad as I had feared...
