Mmmm. Mint chocolate stout!

It’s early in the process, but we’ve got some (good) news. After a successful experiment of dry hopping our chocolatey stout with mint leaves, we are going to try to turn our Lumberjack Stout into a Mint Chocolate Stout. Upon hearing our ideas, some people seem to think this would taste great… some people don’t. We want to develop a name for this sucker that will SILENCE THE NAYSAYERS form the get-go.

And in case you were wondering what this baby is going to taste like, it will be thick and chocolatey with just a hint of mint aroma (and flavor). It is already quite refreshing for a stout.

We don’t have any consensus for a name for our barleywine yet. Hopefully we can get some good ideas for our mint chocolate alcoholic beverage. Ideas?

    The clear answer would be to name this beer, “SILENCE THE NAYSAYERS” Mint Chocolate Stout.

    I just can’t imagine buying a beer with mint in it. I might choke down a Coor’s light instead. Sorry, I am a naysayer.

    Dave,

    Fine by me. One of your friends would inevitably buy a six-pack, you would end up trying it, and then you would apologize. I can imagine a mint beer being terrible, but as long as we keep our recipe right – with just a bit o’ mint – I think we’ll be okay.
