Bottle. Been waiting for this for a long time. Pours pitch black with no head. Aromas of the characterestic bourbon county barrels, coconut flesh, coffee beans, slight roast, vanilla, caramel. Taste is straight up coconut flesh, bourbon, vanilla, dark melted chocolate and butter, roasted coffee beans, dark dried fruits. Body as smooth as... something very smooth. So goddamn good!

Bottle from MeadMe, thanks as always Greg! Inky black with a stingy tan head. Molasses roast light chocolate bits of coconut light toast light oak and vanilla on the nose. Spicy rye character comes through in the flavor a bit more than the aroma. Sweet sticky brown sugary molasses with bits of caramel and chocolate. Lightly fruity with some toasty coconut just peaking out for the finish. Stick almost syrupy mouthfeel, full body and then some. light level of carbonation. I think the coconut must have faded, but I think it leaves enough background notes to keep this interesting. Pretty damn tasty imho.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a large brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of coconut and black chocolate with some bourbon and some vanilla notes. Taste is a complex and satisfying mix of vanilla and bourbon with some black chocolate with just the right amount of coconut. Quite a bit of residual sugar notes but not overly so. Body is full with nice creamy body and good carbonation with no apparent alcohol. Such a shame that this was only brewed once.
