Equal parts chocolate, coconut, and almonds create a brown ale delicacy unlike any other. Sweet soft aromas of chocolate and coconut excite the senses and peek curiosities. The first sip leads toward a perfect fusion of flavor, as chocolate and coconut seem to embrace the toasted almond qualities, complementing and accentuating in impeccable unison. Pleasant almond flavors remain well into a finish that is not too sweet, bitter, or dry.

Draft. Chocolate, coconut, and nut aroma. Amber with minimal head. Very sweet (not quite cloying but close) chocolate coconut and almond flavor. with alcoholic finish. Very nicely blended. Like eating an Almond Joy and chasing it with a bit of vodka.

6th Annual MBG Winter Beer Festival, Grand Rapids. Murky dark brown body, thick cream head. Nose of almond and light chocolate, quite sweet. The body is very sweet and syrupy, caky, with brown sugar, almond, and a touch of banana, drinks like a slice of almond cake. Strange.
