Bomber, traded with neighbors. A coconut smell immediately under the cap, stays mild as a light chocolate roast malt warms around the nose. Deep black color with a thin, fizzy brown head. Taste is a nice sweet stout, with coconut just forming an edge around the taste. Does turn a bit over-roasty, which earned a slight ding on taste, even though the nice malt sweetness made up for it. Bits of vanilla work around it. I never liked coconut much, but it’s quite subtle and agreeably sets the entire package apart. Alcohol is light. Flavors are at their peak for a beer I got in trade in January, and I think it should not be held much more than a year.

Bottle thanks to Rainer. Pours a dark brown with small beige head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is cocoa nibs, chocolate. Thin mouthfeel with nice roast, chocolate, not much coconut, bitter finish.
