Pleasing chocolate with mint hints in finish. Nice stout body.

First sip is very mint forward. It then mixes very pleasingly with the malt flavors. Mint resurfaces in the end. Bitterness builds up.

Wasn't sure how this was going to work but with Perennial, anything's possible. Opens very much like an Andes after-dinner mint - creamy rather than herbal and firmly chocolate. It moves rather quickly to a thick, rich, stout flavor, much less sweet, and a building bitterness. It saves it from being cloying, but there's still a little bit of unnaturalness to it all. Still, yum.
