Tonkoko is our multi-award-winning milk stout, infused with lashings of coconut, vanilla, and South American tonka beans, delivering an indulgent chocolatey character that has become a Brew York classic.
In this bold new edition, we’ve taken inspiration from the comforting richness of a mocha — blending the familiar Tonkoko profile with smooth chocolate and a gentle coffee warmth. The result is a luxuriously velvety milk stout that perfectly balances roasted depth with creamy sweetness.

440ml can. Pours almost black with a tan head. Aroma of coffee, dark chocolate, tonka, vanilla. Taste is very flavoursome, a nice blend of all the aforementioned adjuncts, coffee, chocolate, tonka, vanilla, I feared the coconut might be missing but that's present too, milky sweetness but bitterness from coffee and roast malt keeps it in check. Medium bodied, smooth.
Really nice. Good to see this series still going strong.

pours clear dark brown, settles very dark brown with a smooth light brown head.
Aroma is dominated by dark chocolate and tonka beans. also a watery note. not the almost sourish coffeee like note you'd find in a guinness, not much roasted malts either, faint vanilla notes.
flavor is dark chocolate cake (soft) , some roasted malts, dark caramel toffee, the almost sourish roasted malty note you may also find in guinness, lots of dark chocolate, though , is the main ingredient. faint note of coffee, there is a faint hard roasted note, not sure if its more like coffee or more like malts. could be a bit like eating a roasted coffee bean so perhaps more coffee than malts.
aftertaste is pleasantly roasted notes of coffee and malts.
a bit watery feel to it, probably the abv
also a lot of flavor for a 4%ish stout.
the combined feeling is that you get a lot of beer for your abv. and that it's fairly sessionable despite the high content of dessert like flavors.

I'm looking forward to visiting Brew York for more top-notch scoops like this one in March. Not quite black with a small head. A little too carbonated in taste in this instance, the fizz detracts from the chocolate taste to an extent, although the full chocolate aroma isn't impacted.
