Coconut Vibes is the Vibes recipe of one of our Missouri Imperial Stouts which is then infused multiple times with raw and toasted coconut flakes! This was the first stout to really showcase the Side Project use of adjuncts, but in a stainless base and has been one of our favorite and hardest beers to continually make for you! We hope you once again love our release of this massive coconut stout!

2020 vintage Draught at the brewery, 9/30/23. Deep, dark, jet black and viscous. No head. Rich, fruity, juicy, prominent coconut with dense fudgey malts. Sweet, sugary, fruity and massively fudgey with intense coconut. Ultra-concentrated flavors are authentic and well-done but it comes at high price with so much God damned sugar. Very decadent and dessert-like. Can't drink more than a few sips. Not alcoholic. Clean.

750mL bottle, pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma had some faded coconut, some green pepper-ish coffee-like notes, and some dark sugars. Flavour is a coconut bomb, with intense toasted coconut, raw coconut, some cocoa, nice sticky dark sugars, and even more coconut. Oodles of intense coconut, sweet but not cloying. Very tasty, big, chewy, pastry stout.

Dark brown, no head. Aroma has a bit of toasted coconut, but also some almost burnt, tarry notes. On the palate, there's quite a bit of coconut, with again more of the burnt, molasses notes. Some fairly bit heat in the finish.

Poured from 750mL bottle. Very dark brown with minimal beige head. Roast upfront with wave of toasted coconut mid palate to finish. Enjoyable, bourbon would make it even better.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a dark brown foamy head with some retention and some lacing notes. Aroma of chocolate notes with some deep toasted coconut notes and some residual sugar notes. Taste is also a mix of chocolate notes with some nice toasted coconut notes with just the right amount of residual sugar notes. Body is full with an oily texture and good carbonation with no discernible alcohol notes. Solid pastry stout with great flavours and great balance/drinkability.
