Bottle pour, almost black. Aroma of char and ash, dried peppermint. Very dry, loads of tannins. Notes of charred wood and peppermint.
Was hoping to get more peppermint from this a la the coconut, but it's still very good and thinmint-esque.

Bottle shared at the July THT. Very dark brown pour with a tan head. Notes of peppermint, chocolate - quite a bit like an after eight chocolate. Medium body and carbonation. Quite refreshing but the peppermint is a bit overpowering. --- Beer merged from original tick of Ballast Point Victory at Sea - Peppermint on 10 Jul 2017 at 12:16 - Score: 7
