Dark roast and dark chocolate and coffee. Jet brown with a small white head. Roast and malt, coffee and cocoa. Nice.

Dark brown, lots of everything, chocolate, coffee and nuts. Same on the palate with a really rich burnt coffee accent. Still, good body and lots of flavour.

Draught at the brewery
Pitch black colour, small small dark brown head. For the style it's off-dry, even more so when considering that there is lactose; initially it a very good dark chocolate bar, but the roasted malt character gets stronger sip after sip; I don't think the coconut is evident, or the other nuts, some toasted but character is there though. The finish is very roasty.
Very good.

473ml (thx, Andrey!) from the brewery shared with Andrey after relay change. Appearance: dark brown with a beige head. Aroma: lots of cocoa, some nuts, roasted malt, some smokiness. Taste: along the same lines with slight fruitiness. Overall: pretty good, did not find coconut and lactose, though.

On tap at Brassneck, pours jet black with a small brown head. Aroma is full of toasted hazelnuts and almonds upfront, followed by cocoa and more subdued coconut. Flavour is full of chocolatey goodness, accentuated by hazelnuts and almonds further back. The coconut and lactose are not overly noticeable other than imparting a hint of sweetness. This is a delicious pastry stout.
