Mint Choc Chip Imperial Stout

VC say 'Some things are mint to be. Our first ever stout in the series leans into the rich, dessert-like decadence, layering cool, refreshing mint over a base that’s been pushed to the limit with a long boil for deep, sticky, intensely bold flavours.'

Have you got all that?
I think we can safely say, there's something for every Smoggie there, like.

Happy 🍻
