Year of New Beer (Rnd 1): Chocolate Mint Girl Stout, Orlando Brewing (FL)

Written By: Dion on 11/27/2016

Rich cocoa powder and roasted malts initially mask the subtle peppermint on the nose. On the tongue, my early fears of a dominating mint are erased as the focus lies instead on a slightly charred chocolate malt base. The peppermint is very subtle, leaving just a trace on the aftertaste. This is deceptively light and easy drinking given the ingredients and style. Very good.
