22 ounce bottle. Pours an opague black color with a very large rocky brown head. Minty chocolate malt aroma. Tangy chocolate mint flavor dominates the palate. Notes of bittersweet chocolate and espresso. Overall, rather dry in character, little complexity and the obvious mint flavor make this an average stout. Could have used a little more malt to add some complexity.

Dark with a brown head. Aroma is like cocoa puffs, light peanut butter, chocolate, light roasted malts. When I had a pint of this on draught the peanut butter was much stronger. This has been in a growler for about 10 days (sealed, refrigerated) and the peanut butter has faded while the cocoa puff aroma has really come on. Full bodied. Very tasty, but much like the aroma, the flavor has morphed from peanut butter to much more cocoa puffs. I liked the PB on the fresh version but must say that the cocoa puff flavor is quite enjoyable, too. Fun beer.

Dark with a brown head. Aroma is minty, chocolate, and light roasted malts. Medium bodied. Flavor is much like a Girl Scout Thin Mint. Chocoalte, minty, light roasted malts, and a bit of toast. I thoroughly enjoyed this beer and could happily put a few down in an evening. Sure, it’s a gimmick, but it’s one that worked quite well, IMO.

My kind of APA. +++Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy bright amber color with a medium sized foamy orange-white head that left some lacing. The aroma was moderately strong sweet pineapple and grapefruit. The flavor was sweet and tangy caramel with sugar and moderate notes of pineapple, grapefruit and a hint of lemon. The finish was long with sugar, caramel and pineapple lingering. Fairly full bodied. Very drinkable.
