When Tiny Rebel released limited editions of their marshmallow porter, Stay Puft, for the Covid-19 lockdown, I just had to try them. First up, it's Stay Put Mint Chocolate Chip.
It's a very dark brown beer with a small, loose beige head that retains a small layer of foam. The aroma is very light but it definitely smells of mint choc chip ice cream with notes of chocolate, vanilla and mint.
The taste is very impressive. It's a smooth, vanilla, chocolate porter with a hint of mint and a slight coffee aftertaste. It's a very unusual blend and I didn't think it would work in a beer but it is stunning. It's like drinking ice cream.
It has a medium body with decent carbonation that is quite soft, so it has a lovely smooth mouthfeel.
It's a delicious porter. The flavours are perfectly balanced to just give a hint of mint without it being overpowering. It's very moreish and I would buy more of these if they brewed it again. If I could, Ale Be Seeing You again!
