From the label“A long time ago, a wise man said, "Perfection is an unattainable goal." Then someone else put mint and chocolate together, and boy did he feel stupid. We don't know if we attained perfection with Mint Condition, but this pitch-black stout is brimming with vibrant mint, dark chocolate, and roasted malt flavors. Which is pretty flawless to us. So suck it, wise man.”
