I poured this bottle into a snifter glass and got two fingers of initial foam that died down really quickly. The coloring is very appropriate for "stout" (where no light is coming through).

You can really pick up the mint from this beer. I also get a healthy amount of chocolate and coffee in the nose. It plays pretty well together.

The flavor doesn't have quite the same amount of balance. You can definitely get the mint up front, and on the back end the coffee really comes out. I don't get as much chocolate in this beer. It is a little unusual, but a new/different opportunity.

I recommend buying a single bottle for a new experience.

look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.75 | overall: 4.5

Served from a 12oz bottle into a Grey Sail pint.

Appearance- Black with thin mocha head that didnt last long, but left great lacing.

Smell- Chocolate mint up front, boozieness, dark roasted malts, possibly some light hop presence.

Taste- Wow. Chocolate and lights hops first, but quickly turns to mint. Gets mildly boozy and malty, then finishes with hops and mint.

Mouthfeel- Super smooth. Mild heat, but finishes with a mouth-cooling affect from the mint. Finishes super crisp!

Overall- I'm pretty surprised by this one. It's a real cool beer that tastes great as well.

Poured into a Founders snifter on 1/3/12

The beer pours languidly; scorched brown in color. The head is slow to take off, but when it does, it reaches two and a half fingers. Thinner retention with ample amounts of lacing.

Chocolate and mint are, of course, the focal point of the aroma. They are so strong as to make the immediate area smell of mint chocolate candy; it makes me fondly remember the way Old Blue would fill the area it occupied with various and sundry internal combustion fumes. This seems really hoppy too, but I can't quite decide if I'm merely detecting the mint. Hints of dough.

One sip is all I need to reckon this is just really hoppy; it's the green, piney type of hoppy which seems to blend with the mint. The chocolate is fairly smooth all the way through the mid-section. From there, roast flavors are manifest in greater amount and the finish is burnt chocolate with hints of ash.

The medium-full body is viscous and rather inky. Moderately high carbonation keeps the feel on edge, which jives with the flavor profile. Boisterous yet balanced; I am impressed.

Wow, I'm floored by how good this is. I wish I had bought more of it.

Bottle

A - Dark chocolate brown with a one finger head that fades away

S - Like a Andes candy with mint chocolate and a slight sweet cream it as well as cream

T - Like drinking a Andes mint a there is roasted dark chocolate with a good, but not overpowering, mint presence

M - Light body with a slight astringent roasted malt that lingers on in the finish 3.75

O - This is a good and interested beer that tastes exactly like you would expect a mint chocolate beer to taste.

Had on tap at blind tiger- pours a rich black color with two fingers if mocha colored head, decent retention and solid streaks of lacing.

Smell is like a mint mocha- mint, chocolate and coffee, maybe a little hint of booze but nothing substantial.

Taste is complex and exceptionally well balanced. Roasted malts up front followed by the "thin mint" taste, then some coffee and then a little hop bitterness to make this one not too sweet. Excellent.

Mouthfeel is very nice- smooth, rich, full bodied and yet surprisingly drinkable (for a stout that is). Moderately carbonated. I would recommend this first and foremost because it is a great beer but also for its novelty. Cheers!

Poured from a bottle into a snifter.

Pours almost black color with a nice layer of tan head. This beer has really nice chocolate/mint flavor to it. Mint scares me because it can make things taste like mouthwash, but that's not the case here. Reminds me of a thin mint. This is a really nice use of mint in a beer. Stone tends to be extreme, but they didn't overdo it here. There is a really nice sweet roast throughout that brings everything together.

A: The beer is jet black in color. It poured with a quarter finger high tan head that died down but consistently left a thin layer of bubbles covering the surface.
S: There are moderate aromas of mint leaves in the nose along with not some notes of roasted chocolate malts.
T: The taste is similar to the smell and has more prominent flavors of roasted malts and a moderate amount of bitterness. The bitterness and minty flavors linger through the finish, which also has some hints of citrus and pine resin hops.
M: It feels medium-bodied and somewhat dry on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is very minty and has a nice blend of roasted malts but it seemed like it could have used a little more chocolate and sweetness in lieu of bitterness to make this taste like one of those chocolate mints that they leave on your pillow at a hotel when the bed is turned down for the night. It is quite drinkable because the alcohol is well masked from the taste. However, the balance improves as the beer warms up.

Had on-tap at Sierra Grille.

Poured into a snifter, pitch black body with a 1-finger tan head. It falls to a thick ring and a partial cap eventually.

Good, strong scent that is surprisingly well-balanced. Mint-chocolate candies come to mind, caramel, and molasses.

Taste follows well but not quite as nice as the scent. Definitely lots of milk+dark chocolates and caramel ruling here, mint is pretty obvious but it's not in the forefront, thankfully not overpowering at all, though after a while it gives off kind of a toothpaste vibe. Some bready notes there as well. Not much roast presence here at all, definitely a sweet beer.

Very slick feel with medium-low carbonation. A little hot on the tongue.

Very solid representation of a mint chocolate stout, it would be easy for a beer like this to be a disaster. Not something I'd want to drink often but quite good.

look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Pours pitch black with a thin, half finger mocha head that immediately settles into a thin ring.  Sporadic spots of lace left behind.

Sweet chocolate malt aroma with subtle roast but not much mint character.  Sweet baker's chocolate dominates the nose with cocoa, fudge and chocolate cake along with lactic sugars, toast and coffee bean.  After it warms, there's a very faint mint presence but it's overpowered by the chocolate, malt and lactic notes.

On the fuller end of medium bodied with a stronger roast presence than the nose suggests.  Still, it has lots of sweet chocolate but there's also burnt toast, espresso bean and oatmeal.  Dessert-like chocolate cake and sweet malt flavors with lactic creaminess and sweet sugars.  Some burnt malt and earthy hop bitterness.  The mint comes in faintly towards the end of the palate but lingers well after with a cool, refreshing  finish.  Could use more mint but it's well balanced and the high abv is excellently  masked.  One of the better stone collaborations.

Pours a darker creamy thick 1 finger head that fades slowly with decent lacing, over pretty much pitch black beer.

NOse wow mint, I didn't expect that much mint, a nice fresh peppermint, and with the dark cocoa it reminds me of the hot chocolate with a shot of peppermint schapps I like to do in the winter. Some dark cocoa, and hint of baker's chocolate, faint caramel and biscuit, touch of booze, seems like a creamy almost lactose chocolate. Just dominates with mint though.

Taste again brings mint and plenty of it, that fresh peppermint leaf, and again cocoa, dark chocolate blended with the mint, it really has a junior mint flavor nicely. Little caramel and biscuit malt again, as cocoa gets a little creamy and lactose like but not quite, then baker's chocolate and dark chocolate. Bitterness comes in, a light earthy and mint hop flavor, and bitterness from dark malts and the mint itself it seems. Creamy malts lead to a light powdered cocoa as it moves towards the finish, which is also creamy but slightly dry, plenty more cocoa, little caramel, mint is there strong as well still and lingers for a while, with a bit more earthy bitterness at this point.

Mouth is med to fuller bodied, fluffy carbonation wtih tons of carb, just a faint hint of booze.

Overall interesting beer for sure, nice flavor of that mint cocoa, nice malts, nice hop addition too, drinkable as booze is hidden fairly well, and creamy, tasty, long lingering minty and hopy bitterness. Pretty tasty beer, but needs to be fresh.

12oz bottle poured into a large snifter.

A: Inky black on the pour with an inch and a half of brown head. Retention is good, thought the head does settle down after a bit. Thin but stubborn rings and spots of lacing attach themselves to the glass.

S: Fudge, chocolate syrup, brownie batter, coffee beans and a touch of woody roast. Fresh, broken mint leaves in the background. Very subtle and vague hint of darkfruit.

T: Chocolate syrup and brownie batter are all over the palate at the outset. Fudge and moist German chocolate cake. Very rich and desserty. Hints of roasted coffee beans, wood, and a touch of smoke begin to come out from behind the chocolate bomb. Plum and currant darkfuit timidly peek out as well. Well-hidden spike of spicy alcohol. Fresh mint comes around toward the back end and builds in intensity, providing a perfect counterpoint to the strong chocolate notes. Long, drawn out finish of rich chocolate, hints of wood and smoke, and delicate mint.

M: Rich, thick, and very well rounded in the mouth. A touch chewy, but not sludgy or weighty. Velvety, silky, creamy, and decadent. Low carbonation. Slight warming sensation in the swallow, but this certainly doesn't drink like a 9.6% abv beer. This is a hell of a mouthfeel.

O: This is an impressive beer. A rich, decadent dessert beer that reins in a hefty chocolate bomb with a pleasant contrasting mint flavor. I wish they'd put it into regular production. This has been my favorite Stone collaboration beer to date, and by a mile.

Pours a deep black coffee look with 2 fingers of khaki head. Bubbles raving up the glass with decent retention. It smells of super bitter chocolate, more like unrefined cocoa. The taste and mouthfeel is very boozy. I mean super boozy. The warmer it gets, the more it heats up from the alcohol (9.6) presence. It's hard to detect the mint in this one with lots of bitter chocolate and booze dominating. I was glad it came in 12 oz because that's all I could handle. Overall, it's bold. It's not refreshing. I would enjoy this in a cabin in the woods by the fire, maybe once or twice. Better imperial stout options out there.

A - pours a deep, rich black. Roughly 2 fingers worth of tight brown bubbles on top. Quickly recedes but leaves lots of spotty lacing on the glass.

S - the nose is simple yet imposingly rich. Like a big pot of dark chocolate sauce. The mint sprouts out of the glass as it warms. more of a peppermint. Together it creates an andes mint aroma that is very pleasant.

T - a plesant blend of sweet and bitter chocolate sauce. Along with mild notes of roasted grains. Earthy bitterness in the center which plays nicely with the subtle but building mint flavor. The lively mint flavor is most potent on the backend as well as a touch of alcohol warmth which lingers long after the finish.

M - silky, velvety full body. Medium carbonation just present enough to keep the beer together.

O - great beer for the winter. Not something i would crave constantly but definitely something i would like to have one or twice while the weather is cold. Good stuff.

A - Jet black with a one finger mocha head. Beautiful pour.

S - The mint and chocolate come through in the scent, but not near as much as in the taste. Roasted malts also make a presence, but this one doesn't have as strong an aroma as I expected.

T - Very unique, a bit like a thin mint cookie. The chocolate and mint are huge in this, but this isn't a sweet beer. This is actually a pretty bitter stout and the roasty malts are definitely present. The rich flavors balance out the 9.6% ABV nicely.

M - Creamy, smooth, and medium bodied. Almost a chocolate syrup feel.

This is a really fantastic collaboration. The chocolate and mint balance out with the malts and alcohol leaving a nice, bitter dark chocolate and mint flavor. Would definitely drink this again.

look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3 | feel: 2.75 | overall: 3.25

A: Rich, dark, and creamy but thinner than most imperials. Thick head, modest lacing.

S: Amazingly minty and chocolaty like the box of thin mints the girl scouts sell you. It truly does smell more like a delicious baked treat than a beer. But I love it!

M: Creamy and smooth, but a little sticky from the sweetness.

T: The initial flavor is absolutely amazing, and exactly what I was expecting out of this beer. Super dark rich chocolate complimented by cool crisp mint; sweet and delicious. Unfortunately, this beer leaves a less than pleasant after-taste that mostly overrides any good flavors left on your palette.

Overall: This is a good attempt but its not perfect. I love stouts and i love mint, and i had high hopes for this beer.there are still some great flavors, and you should definitely try it.

As an addendum, I think this beer might be better a little colder than stouts are normally supposed to be served. I really thing cold and mint go hand in hand, and I think it may help blend some of the flavors.

A: Very black/dark brown body with a deep mocha colored 2 finger head that lingered around for a long time.

S: Starts off great with deep roasted malts (chocolate, toffee, dark fruit) then the mint comes on nicely but finishes on its own and had a similar smell to toothpaste.

T: A let down from the smell. Very toothpaste-y in the beginning. The chocolate and dark malts come through in the middle and it finishes up with an okay blend of the two. Some work can and needs to be done here.

M: It has a nice viscous heavy mouthfeel and has a very good carbonation bite to it.

O: It's somewhere between average and good, but I will probably not buy this beer again. Stone is my favorite brewery but this is one of the rare let downs that has come out of there. A mint chocolate stout had a lot of potential but this did not live up to the delicious sounding name.

12oz bottle into a 3F wine-style glass. Thanks Tony!

A: Black with brown highlights, thin light-brown head; nice spotty lace.

S: Dark chocolate, herbal mint, and faint fruitiness. Interesting but not terribly appealing.

T: Follows the nose, but perhaps a bit richer with the chocolate. Mint midway through and a dry, bitter finish. Ok, not the best.

M: Creamy carbonation in a medium body. Solid.

Pitch frickin’ black with a modest but bubbly tan head that fizzled to a thin ring around the glass. It actually looks a lot like the Dog A, if I remember right.

Sweet, candy-like mint chocolate with hints of bitter burnt malts and loads of melted sweet milk chocolate. The alcohol starts to get noticeable as the beer warms.

Deep, rich, sugary burnt malt notes with sweet chocolate overtones. Mint comes in soon after with hints of roasted bitterness and some bitter hop notes. Some smattering of tanginess and melted chocolate along the way. Finishes with sweet velvety chocolate, a bittersweet presence and a minty, mentholated coolness at the back of the throat. Some alcohol presence but not reflective of the staggering 9.6%.

Rich, syrupy and smooth, but almost too carbonated. Just almost.

I really like this beer. Sweet without getting cloying; rich while eschewing being nauseating. A real class act. A damn good beer.

look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 3.5

Appearance: Thick, syrupy, black. Head is a tannish brown. An aggressive pour yields a monstrous creamy head. Drops to a small cap and fluffy collar in short order. Super sticky. Lacing galore. Some deep browns when held to light.

Smell: Sweet mint. Deeply roasted and slightly burnt. Creamy, like an Andes Mint or York Peppermint Pattie. Backing alcohol. Legit smells like a booze soaked Thin Mint. Pretty sure this is candy. Dark chocolate. Semisweet chocolate chips. Slightly roasted.

Taste: Roasted malt. Slightly burnt. Chocolate and lots of it. Milk chocolate coupled with a building dark chocolate/cocoa edge. Peppermint sticks. Thin Mint cookies. Lingering alcohol. Some dark fruitiness in the back, but it's minor and not distinct. Some backing char. Mildly sweet mint, not overbearing. Burnt sugar, overcaramelized.

Mouthfeel: Coats the mouth. Thick and syrupy. Minimal carbonation. Smooth and creamy. Lingering roasty dryness.

Overall: If the Girl Scouts sold this, we'd all be wasted.

A solid showing, but not the best collaboration to date. A boozy Thin Mint, and that's ok. I can work with that.

S: Mint up front, with dark chocolate following close behind. Also has notes of coffee and some dark fruit character.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a tulip glass.

S - Initial smell is dark chocolate with some bitter coffee notes. Next comes a subtle wave of mint and vanilla notes. Smells like a mint chocolate candy.

T - This stout is packed with flavor! You immediately get lots of dark chocolate followed by very bitter coffee and dark roasted malts. The finish has a hint of vanilla and mint. As the beer continues to warm and reach appropriate temperature, the mint becomes more and more noticeable.

M - Full bodied but I find it a tad over-carbed initially for my liking. The finish is silky smooth.

O - I loved all things mint chocolate chip as a kid so this is a personal favorite for me. Stone really packed a lot of flavor into this imperial stout. The bitter notes may be off putting for some but I find it adds some complexity to it. Overall, if you like any combination of mint and chocolate I highly recommends this as an amazing desert pour.

This was given to me by an employee of Bryn Mawr beverage in PA.

He said it was a legit stout worth trying and I was excited to crack into this one!

Poured into a pint glass to allow adequate breathing, pretty rapid pour as well.
The mint and chocolate emanate and remain. About 2 finger brownish head that stays as a sticky lacing throughout.

First sip gives me the full mint chocolate flavoring with a quite bitter aftertaste. Almost overpowering. However each subsequent sip this dissipates. I'm thinking maybe I got some residue that settled or just the sweetness of the mint took over after each mouthful.

This is VERY good. I was concerned it would be too sweet as some chocolate stouts tend to be. But it really isn't. The collaboration by Ken Schmidt is effective in the uniqueness as well as balanced and mixed well.
Well masked ABV as well.

If you are given a chance to try this, I recommend.

Impenetrable black body under a solid, creamy caramel colored head that fades to a milky cap and deposits some lovely rings of lacing on the glass. The aroma is pure, clean mint chocolate...exactly as advertised. Lots of icy-sweet aromas along with nougat and a whiff of vanilla. Taste is bigger with a load of rich chocolate malts spiked with peppermint and booze. Pretty damn tasty to start, but then an astringency comes into play and, mixing with the alcohol, makes the finish far less pleasant that it should. I think, surprisingly (or maybe not so surprisingly), the hops are a little too prominent, adding too much bitterness and contributing to the long, lingering aftertaste. I'm happy it doesn't seem to be over the top with sweetness, but the finish is killing me. Pretty full bodied and dry. Shit, it's just not as good as it should have been.

L – Black color with a big 3.5-finger frothy, very creamy, tan head. Fantastic retention and some awesome sheet-like lacing.

S – It smells like exactly what’s on the bottle: mint chocolate. There’s a hint of molasses and some roasted barley but this is mostly mint and chocolate.

T – It starts off sweet and spicy with mint chocolate, followed closely by a nice bitter blast of roasted malts. The roasted character is much more prominent than it was in the nose.

F – Full-bodied with good carbonation, a sticky and velvety smooth mouthfeel, and a mildly bitter and very cool minty finish. Cool mint lingers nicely.

O – This is a nice imperial stout. The mint is much more prominent than I thought it would be, making this a unique take on a chocolate imperial stout. It’s not very complex but it’s definitely a well-crafted and drinkable beer, especially considering the ABV.

Stone Mint Chocolate Imperial Stout
Pours deep black with a nicely tanned caramel head, not a thick one. Settles fairly quick.
Smells like mint chocolate chip, with a nice bitter cocoa presence. Still, very minty fresh smelling!
Chocolate malts up, with a healthy balance of that mint i might add, up front here in the taste... then gives way to the bitter cocoa in the finish. There's a heat in the end, a drying aspect, alcohol. I think the mint use is great, but as a stout I just wish it didn't end so dry and earth-hoppy/ chalkish. Would like a sweeter brew.
Mouthfeel is thick enough and smooth, ample carbonation and lacing coating the pint glass I'm using for this collaborative specialty stout. Overall this one is a winner. Seek it out even if just for a holiday treat.
