Mankato Mint Stout

The Mankato Brewery is in North Mankato, Minnesota.  It is the first production brewery to be in that city since 1967. This is a holiday seasonal release and comes in at 5.5% ABV.

The beer pours a pure, opaque black, even when held to the light. There is a short head of light brown foam. The aroma is minty, coffee, mocha, chocolate, crème de menthe. The taste follows the aromas, with coffee, chocolate, mocha, mint, along with that crème de menthe-type mint. The flavors work, but they demand a much fuller mouthfeel than this provides. It is watery in the mouth, I wish it was creamy and full-bodied, like the flavors.
