Can from EeBria. It tastes like a standard chocolate stout with some mojito cocktail poured in. Chocolate and sourness - not sure its a winner. Individual elements are fine but its not quite balanced. Nonetheless it gets tastier over time and I finished mine easily. Look: black, small consistent tanned head. Looks good. Nose: roast, coffee, mint, char, sour berries Taste: starts roasty, choc stock and sour yeasty berry notes, finishing with after eight mints and aniseed. Palate: medium bodied, smooth, drying. Fine.

Thick foamy light brown head stayed on a dark brown body. Mint & dark chocolate aroma. Smells like mouthwash. Medium bodied, lively over the tongue thinning out to leave a cloying back. Malt, chocolate, roasted & minted tastes with an extremely bitter finish. Great idea but it just doesn't work. Nice fresh breath though!

Can from N & R News, Blackheath Standard. Black pour with a tan head. Nose is After Eight Mints, liquorice, aniseed, prunes, touch of dark fruit. Very chocaltey minty taste, touch more liquorice, aniseed. Freshens the breath. It's drinkable and indeed finishable, it's not tooooo bad.

Can ordered from Vittles and Company, Hull. Aroma is spot on: mint and chocolate. Dark. Red tinge. Tan head soon pretty much disappears. The flavour is less precise. Mint does initially appear but more of a sour toothpaste effect. Underlying malts - low key cocoa and instant coffee. All with a mint oil burn. Light-medium bodied. Thin. Vaguely creamy. Average carbonation. Long astringent finish. After the enticing aroma it then disappoints.
