On tap. Pours a very dark brown with no head. Aromas of black coffee, dusty dark chocolate and roasted malts. Flavors follow same with a nice lactose sweetness and subtle toasted coconut. Nice, simple and clean.

Poured from the tap. Dark brown with tan head. Mild toasted malt, light chocolate, hint of coconut and vanilla. Decent, but fairly mild and safe. Nothing outstanding.

Dark brown. Thin head. Has a fair bit of chocolate on the nose and a little bit of coconut. On the palate I’d say more like thin and fudgey...I’m getting the dark malts but without the necessary sugars and body to support the chocolateyness, much less the coconut. This needs to be a bigger beer - or at least a sweeter one - to work properly.

Draft - Lots of vanilla and milk chocolate. Deep maroon with a decent light brown head. Lots of vanilla, milk chocolate, toasted coconut and a clean finish. Great, but I wish it had a richer body.

On tap at Four Winds, pours a deep dark amber brown with a small beige head. Aroma is on the fruitier side, with light toasted malt. Flavour brings out notes of vanilla, coconut and a little lactose. Nice balance of flavours, though the vanilla and coconut really steal the show. Nice beer.

Black, tan head.Coconut nose. The vanilla in the palate drowns out pretty much everything else. Not a fan

Cask at Six Acres, Vancouver, 12 oz
Black color, with small head. Strong aroma of toasted coconut and some chocolate. Lean body; the low carbonation improves the experience; it’s quite chocolatey, not roasty, with a touch of coconut, vanilla and roasted nuts; the sweetness is very moderate, the final is medium-dry.
Nice beer.
