A seasonal stout from Ska Brewing that is made with spearmint and peppermint, it also contains Cocoa Nibs and Vanilla Beans. It is named after Minthe the Nymph that was turned into a mint plant in Greek Mythology. I served this straight out of the fridge.

Appearance: Very dark but with plum colour edges when held to the light. A medium tan head that lasts for a reasonable amount of time.
Aroma: You definitely get the mint but it attaches itself on the end of a chocolaty stout smell, coming together like mint chocolate chip ice-cream.
Flavour: Some dark roasted chocolate notes on the front leading into the dark fruit notes not that dissimilar to cola
Body: A bit watery and undercabonated.
Aftertaste: The mint comes into play a lot here, very refreshing at first and then leading onto the flavour of mint that you get when you cook with it
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 5, a hard one to rate as it is very unique, it's nice but not something to drink all the time.
Price Range: £3.50 for a 355ml can, a bit too much for what it is, but definitely worth a try.
Food Pairings: Lamb, this is a beer that will go great with Greek food.
