Kolor smoliście czarny, bez prześwitów. Piana ciemno brązowa, bardzo niska, szybko znika z powierzchni płynu.
Aromat palony, tytoniowy, czekoladowy i oczywiście kokosowy (tak przynajmniej informuje browar na etykiecie). Intensywność aromatu jest na poziomie wysokim.
W smaku, walory zapachowe, zwłaszcza kokos są dodatkowo wzmocnione. Generalnie smak jest słodki, nawet ulepkowaty, skontrowany jednak wysoką goryczką. Goryczka redukuje sporą słodycz i ostatecznie góruje w smaku. Goryczka ma charakter palony.
Alkohol zdradziecko ukryty. Wysycenie niskie. Tekstura, oleista, aksamitna, bardzo gładka. Ciało wysokie, pełne. Posmak długi wytrawny, palony i oczywiście kokosowy.

Taste comprises cacao nimbs, dark malts, spice, coconut shavings, charr, dried fruit rinds.
Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost.
Seems strange drinking a dark beer from Soma ... good shit mind like their hoppy output.

Can. Near opaque dark brown beer, small and short lived bubbly tan head. A pretty light palate for the style, semi dry with good fine minerally carbonation. Smooth dark malts, good dark chocolate malts tempered with a little dark malt cream. Good coconut and a little vanilla provides a good bounty bar vibe. Light and crisp finish. My first dark brew from Soma, that I can recall anyway, and it is as solid as their hoppy offerings. Perhaps a barleywine or three next?

Roasty, dry and sweetish with some greasy coconut, thin body and syrupy earthiness. Okay.

Sample draft @ El Birrot, merci Isaac. En général, je salue toujours l'arrivée des rares gros stouts de Soma car à ce jour je n'ai jamais été déçu, et de fait, bien dommage que cela soit trop rare par rapport aux nombre de hazy que Soma produit.
Noire obsidien, col crémeux café au lait, le tout avec un léger filament huileux doré au verre.
Arôme est tout autant chargé en malts - une grosse dose complexe - chocolat/café, caramel, dark crystal avec un côté noix de coco toastée assez plaisant et qui confère le côté tropical mais sans tomber dans un gros stout de type pastry - heureusement!
Palais est chargé en malts - grillé, chocolat noir, classique RIS avec une fine amertume houblonnée en fin de bouche à laquelle vient se coller un délicieux caractère de noix de coco toastées.
