Craft beer has been on the rise recently and people are on the lookout for uniquely flavored beers such as this chocolate mint beer from Flying Dog Brewery. The brewery, which is based in Maryland, has a wide-range of distinctly flavored beers but this one takes the cake as their only dessert-inspired one.
The company was inspired by the chocolate mint herb growing in its staff garden and decided to reciprocate the taste in one of its crafts. They added peppermint and cocoa to a stout beer after its fermentation process. The stout also includes caramel, black roasted barley, flaked oats, wheat malts with Perle hops and Whitbread yeast. It is said to have a "subtle sweetness and a refreshing minty finish." What type of beer will we see next? Perhaps, raspberry cheesecake?
