13/2613) Home:  Blueberry Pancake Milkshake Stout by Rochester Mills Beer Co. of Michigan, U.S.A.:  **; 4.5%, 20 ibu; brewed with the usual four plus blueberry and lactose; uncommonly sweet blueberry nose; flavours are very sweet but the blueberries take a bit, but only a bit, of the edge off; the lack of carbonation and think mouthfeel do not take away from this one as much as the others so far;

14/2614) Home:  Crème de Menthe Milkshake Stout by Rochester Mills Beer Co. of Michigan, U.S.A.:  **1/2; 4.5%, 20 ibu; with lactose, cocoa and mint; finally, something overshadows all that sweetness; in the nose, strong mint; reminding me of those York chocolate bars my mother would buy me as a child; cocoa and mint flavours;  the overpowering sweetness is cut through by the mint; this is the most tolerable of the lot so far;
