On tap at the Thirsty Growler. Matte black with brown highlights, thin cocoa head. Obvious chocolate pillow mint nose. Flavor is, menthol & stiff dark chocolate, a little bolder than the candy. Stiff booze, strong menthol, coffee edge to the chocolate, minty numbness. I usually get nauseated at Martin House concoctions but this one is pretty damn good.

Another of Martin House’s double-12 oz cans offerings. The label promises great things, time to find out. I lift the tab and make the pour into my Great Heights tulip glass. One shade short of totally black with an active recharging of the skim of taupe foam. The scent is a delight, truly smells like a thin mint cookie. The taste is good, just not to the level of the smell. Chocolate, mint, medicine and toast. An adventure but one I’d likely not take again.

Can. Pours clear black, small beige head, decent lacing. Aroma is huge thin mint. Bourbon. Flavor is medium sweet. Light plus bitter. Medium body. Pretty heavy handed, but still good.
