I am from the USA. I like mint. I like chocolate. But mint chocolate is nasty crap lol. I actually just saw a ThirstyDog beer tonight that was a mint chocolate milk stout. My lip quivers at the thought.

I can't see myself enjoying it in a beer, but the combo in general is just fine in my books. I've been growing a mint cultivar called "Chocolate mint" the past few years, and there's just a subtle cocoa note to it that I really enjoy.

Thank you.  I am so making a chocolate and orange wheat stout next Christmas.

I was brave and bought a bomber of Stone's Chocolate Mint Stout 2 or 3 years ago. Thankfully, the mint was very subtle. I'd say it was as good as a mint stout could be good. I'd have to say I liked it. Wouldn't buy it again either.
