Deep dark brown coloured body with a thinnish, relatively fast-dying light brown head. Aroma of coconuts, chocolate, earth, lactose, cream, milk, roasted malt and a lot more coconuts - quite strong, and like a samoa (girl scout cookie). Full-bodied; Super rich flavour up front with the toasted coconuts, earth, grain, caramelised sugar, toffee, earth, nutty and very pungent alcohol bite all pushing through with some strong chocolate and malty flavours hitting towards the end, but the coconut here is by far the strongest, in a good and pungent way. Aftertaste shows the roasted malt, cocoa, chocolate, earth, grain, caramelised sugars, lactose, cream and a bunch more toasted coconut flavours with a pungent maltiness, a strong alcohol bite and a lot of chocolate as well. Overall, this tastes pretty much like a liquid samoa cookie, even more so than the Southern Tier option, given that the toasted coconut notes are the strongest and most pungent. Great to sample, especially for hopefully a real snowstorm here in Washington. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 21-December-2019 for US$3,29 sampled at my house here in Washington on 30-January-2021 on the eve of a [hopefully] storm that might actually see snow in Washington, despite locals freaking out for any sort of storm.

16 ounce can. Opaque dark brown color. Dense, rocky tan head. Big coconut nose is reminiscent of a Mounds Bar. Flavor brings back those same flavors. Coconut and chocolate are right there. The cold brewed coffe is subtle, as is the 8% ABV. This seems less a Winter brew and more like an Easter beer since it tastes like a Chocolate - Coconut Easter Egg. Enjoyable none-the-less.
