From my 16 ounce Prowler.
Pours a pitch black with an inch of tan foam.
Smells of bourbon, roasted and caramel malt, hints of coconut. The sweet notes are definitely coming from the caramel and bourbon mix.
Tastes of milk chocolate, bourbon, caramel, roasted malt and a touch of coconut. Alcohol is kept in check pretty well.
Almost full bodied with perfect carbonation.
A treat!

Pours dark brown from the 22oz bottle. The tan head is frothy and a sticky webbing clings to the glass. Aroma is about what you would expect: plentiful barrel and coconut, but also touches of cherry and chocolate. Taste is bittersweet with the coconut lending a tropical note. No small amont of barrel too but still quite balanced. The coconut surges to the front at the finish. Body is medium to full with moderate carbonation. I've not become a huge fan of additives in beer but so far coconut seems to be the exception. A very good one although not enough complexity to be a truly great beer.

Bomber from Bine & Vine. Pours dark brown with a creamy head. Well, it's not Mars bar, but it's very chocolate and coconut for aroma. Med body at least. Flavor isn't Mars bar either, but it's very chocolate, coconut and bourbon, finally. Aftertaste is a bit earthy. Good stuff indeed.
