Pour is a brown, almost black with a small tan head. Aroma is a off the chain toasted coconut. Not much else is coming though but that coconut is awesome. Flavor is more of the coconut with a little char malt and I get nothing from the rye used. The aroma of the coconut is the star of this beer. The coconut here is like on a level with a pina colada. I just wish the base beer would have held up more and you really would have had something here. Still this was a excellent beer because of the coconut.

Thanks, flopfacefred. This is an odd one. The beer pours black and nearly no brown can be seen. Very small beige head that fades to nothing. The liquid has a heavy, sorta oily look to it. The beer smells strongly of toasted sweetened coconut. Unfortunately, there’s not much depth to it, so it comes off a bit cheap and candy-ish. It doesn’t really smell artificial, just kinda odd. The base adds a cola character with a touch of rye spice and mild sweet chocolate. It makes me think of some sort of toasted coconut soda. I wish it had more fresh coconut flavor. The taste has more of that cola stout flavor. It’s a bit sharp, acidic. Kinda nutty. Lots of coconut. There might just not be enough stout fullness to hold this thing up. It’s fairly thin and a bit oily with some fizzy carbonation. I’m not loving the beer, but it does pack a lot of coconut.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Levi’s place. Thanks Levi. Dark brown. Aroma of lots of coconut, some chocolate. Flavor is a bit sweetish, with lots of coconut, some roast, chocolate, nuts, a rye note, and a bitter finish. Medium-bodied. Possibly the most coconut-y beer I’ve ever tried.

Bottle thanks to Nolen! Pours deep clear black, medium tan head, dissipates fairly quickly leaving decent lacing. Aroma is lots of coconut, mounds bar, roasted malts. Flavor is heavy coconut, mounts, mocha, roasted malts, a bit of spiciness from the rye. Light plus sweet and light bitter. Medium body, hint of acidity. Tasty beer.

Taster at the brewery - jesus.hell this tastes like straight up coconut (at its.best) and suntan lotion (at its worst) - oily texture, medium sweetness, a touch of roast, mild vanillq bean - some tartness and acidity.develops at the end that cuts the sweetness and coconut a bit - not my.thing.
