A luxuriously decadent imperial stout that's draped in a blanket of rich, dark chocolate with delicate whispers of frosty mint throughout. The perfect after dinner treat.

Can, small light brown bubbly head, opaque black colour, aroma of milk chocolate with some mint and cocoa underneath, flavor of dark chocolate with mint and some earthy and burned hints, light but noticeable sweetness, just a whiff of alcohol. A pleasant and highly enjoyable blend of chocolate and mint, like a toned down After Eight.

Malziger Beginn, verhalten nach Kakao. Das Kakaoaroma steigt schnell an, ab dem späten Mittelteil verhalten nach Pfefferminz. Glücklicherweise wurde vorsichtig mit der Pfefferminze umgegangen, so dass sie sich nicht in den Vordergrund drängt aber dennoch gut erkennbar ist. Überraschenderweise ist der Alkoholgehalt nicht erkennbar, die Süße ist zurückhaltend, weich. Langer Nachgeschmack. 11/11/12/11/12/12

Zwart bier met mooie lichtbruine schuimkraag. Smaak is bitterzoet met overduidelijk veel mint en wat chocolade en karamel. Heeft een heel prettig zacht en romig mondgevoel. Helaas overheerst de mint iets te veel voor mij omdat ik daar niet zo van hou. Desondanks een heel goed bier!

Can at The Cat and Barrel Vejle. Pours opaque black with small light brown head. Aroma is roasted malt, caramel, chocolate, and mint. Taste is very sweet, light bitter and faint salty. Body is creamy with soft carbonation. Finish is long and mostly sweet with notes of caramel, chocolate, mint, and vanilla

Draught @ SKAAL Sønderborg. Pours cloudy very dark brown with airy dark tan head. Clear aroma of malt, chocolate, and caramel, with touches of yeast. Bitter, roasty onset with sweetish notes of nalt, cake and yeast, and touches of dried fruit and cinnamon. Roasty finish with touches of cloves and yeast and malty notes. Warming alcohol presence. A nice one.

almost black colour, half inch of creamy beihe-ish head; aroma and taste of mint and dark chocolate - hey guys, you just invented how to liquidise and turn to a beer an After Eight! It is just insane! thanks for this experience! AND THIS IS MY VERY LAST RATING ON RATEBEER - gentlemen, it was my great pleasure to be an almost irrelevant part of the community - cheers, Lore :(
