Tried Fox Head's porter on the weekend at the Beer Festival.

It was a great porter, lots of chocolate. There was also a very subtle minty note to the flavour.

Do you reckon this could be from Northern Brewer hops ?
People argue about whether these produce a minty note, but this seems to part of the official flavours list.
But does this come from the use as bittering or aroma?

I really like the combination of mint and chocolate, it was a really nicely made beer.
