75cl bottle, waxed, but with a small string coming out of the wax, so it is easily opened.
pours black with a tiny bit of transparency, but def. black and settles pitch black with no head. aroma is almost entirely coconut, there are some subtle chocolatey and sweet notes that makes the coconut come off as bounty like (and i don't like bounty at all bc it's too sweet and does not taste like real coconut) . also dark chocolate and roasted malts in the aroma. all is well blended and well balanced but no doubt at all they dropped at least one coconut tree into this bottle.
flavor is toasted coconut, roasted malts, dark chocolate, white chocolate, quite sweet but def. better than toblerone, although the sugary coconut flavor is in there somewhere. texture is velvety and smooth, hinting high quality beer. if you like sweet coconut this beer will top your charts for sure. it does not taste artificial at all, tastes like they soaked a coconut forest in white and brown sugar, then somehow stuffed it into a heavy solid imperial stout. Some serious craftmanship going on here, just sayin'

From bottle at JUova Hanahuone, Helsinki.
Poured black in color, not much head.
Strong barrel aroma, wood, some booze, coconut . Flavor has light spices, sweetness, caramel, wood. Heavy stuff.
