Cask at the Great British Beer Festival 2019 - London. Pours clear brown with a light, foamy off-white head. Decent toasted malt character with some earthy hops, mint, dry cocoa. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Good balance in the finish between the roast, chocolate and cool mint. Not bad.

Tap at the University of Beer in Davis, CA. Pours very dark brown with a tan head. Aroma of chocolate and mild mint. Near full bodied. Flavor is definitely mint and chocolate. Dark malt. Reminds of Andes candy, but less sugar. Decent.
