This mint showed up on it's own ambition. I was wondering if it's a good tasting variety. I can't tell because it bolted and is bitter

Hmm, doesn't look like any mint I know buy it's definitely in that family. Could be any of horehound, horsemint, oregano, ground ivy. There are a lot of wild mints out there but few of them tasty. If you find a good one, have a mojito for me!

I agree with Nat that it probably isn't culinary mint but is from the mint family, which has a lot of members. Mints usually like it damp. If you can catch it in the spring before it bolts try a taste then.
