Dammitt, how the hell would we have gotten a mint character in a beer?

I think one of you guys dropped a tic tac in the kettle!

Funny enough, Mick tried to brew a stout with odd-fellows one time... we explictly banned him from putting any "mint-flavoured sweets" in beer again; yet somehow we've managed to brew one naturally mint flavoured!

If only you had one leftover, it would've been an interesting combo!

Tasted tonight. Notes written without looking at any others.

Pours black as the pits of hell, maybe a slight haze but oh what a head! Beautiful dense tan head which sits there proudly throughout.

Slight whiff of roast on the nose.

Firm body with a slight silky creaminess, leading into a lovely dry roastiness. Excellent example of a dry stout. Well done fella.

Last one.... oh why oh why must it end......

Chocolate roast coffee nose, pours without head but probably too cold... Put the glass on top of the fire for a minute to warm it up. Mouth feels a bit fuller now, not as watery. Very little carbonation. Roasted coffee grinds with a little sweet and sour bitterness action happening..... intriguing!

Little bit of Johnny and Dry in there??

Not bad from the Pope. You boys are getting through some good brewing, I'm just waiting for Will's cacti lager! :)
