Notes

An attempt to combine the Swedish seasonal style of svagdricka and a mint spice beer. The result should be a lighter drinker beer with a sweet chocolaty malty flavor in combination with a mint refreshing note. A ambitious attempt to beerify the classic mint hot chocolate flavor associated with a cold winter day.

Uncertainties:
Protein rest
Amylase rest
Mint amount and form
