Oct 7, 2009 Cask: Pours an opaque black color with no head. Aroma is malty, brown sugar, cocoa, toast, caramel, some mint, and alcohol. Flavor is chocolate, cocoa, mint, roast, vanilla, caramel, malt, toast, and a bitter alcoholic finish.

Jan 21, 2009 Cask at the brewery.
Pours dark, dark brown, almost black, with a few big bubbles floating around the top that flee quickly and leave no lacing at all.
Smell is like a mintier version of a Thin Mint cookie with some chocolate malts in the background with a solid mint presence on top. Interesting.
The taste follows the aroma with the dark chocolate malts as a base and a little bit of sweetness. However, the mint is the dominant presence in the taste. It just builds up after each sip to a massive mint bomb.
The mouthfeel is smooth and slick with only a hint of carbonation. Pretty light mouthfeel overall.
This was a very interesting beer that started out tasty and original but it was honestly tough to finish the glass as the mint really took over. Weird but tasty.
