On tap at Foamer's Folly, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out the absinthe upfront, along with a bunch of toasted grains, like caraway seeds and whatnot. Flavour is loaded with liquorice, caraway sides… yeah, that's a lot of absinthe. It's rather minty on the finish, with light roast. Weird stuff but it somehow works not too badly.

A deep dark brown stout with a thin lacing brown head. In aroma, sweet fruity chocolate malt with light licorice, light maple, pleasant and smooth. In mouth, sweet fruity chocolate malt with light licorice, chinotto, light mineral notes, pleasant. On tap at brewery.

Jet black with a rich light brown head. Minty chocolate. Mint chocolate with some liquorice in the finish. Not bad.

Very nice black body and good foam, smells more like mint and chocolate than absinthe but still quite nice like after 8 chocolates. Flavour is nice deep sweet chocolatey biscuit with a mint kick, it doesn't exude absinthe at all. Crisp and full, quite enjoyable as a mint stout.

I had an absinthe coffee in Prague once, and it was really one of the worst things I've ever tasted. So now it's in beer form! Medium brown. The aroma has a strong herbal note and some fudgey chocolate stuff. More like chocolate mint than coffee absinthe, thankfully. On the palate, again more of the chocolate but less mint and more of the herbal absinthe. Lots of bitterness, not surprisingly. A bit of chocolatey sweetness as well. Ends up being pretty good.

473 ml can. Pours a very dark brown with moderate tannish head. Aromas of mint, playdough, dark chocolate and thin roasted malts. Lighter flavors follow same but with prominent mint . Bitter finish. Thin, but consistent with the ABV. Can get the mint flavor out of my mouth - so yah, a bit much there...
