Coconut, vanilla, chocolate malt, and grass aroma. Black with nice brown head. Moderately sweet coconut, vanilla, chocolate malt, and mildly bitter grass flavor. Good body. Very nice.

473ml can. Pours a clear dark brown with red hue and a small, creamy, short lived, tan head that dissipates to an outer ring which leaves spotty lacing. Sweet aroma of toasted coconut, caramel, milk chocolate and walnut. Sweet flavour of toasted coconut, lactose, milk chocolate, vanilla, walnut, day old coffee and lightly roasted malt in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a thin, sticky texture and average carbonation. Fun stuff. Reminds me of a Bounty chocolate bar.

16 ounce can into pint glass, best before 6/23/2020. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy very dark reddish brown color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky light khaki head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big toasted coconut, milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and brown bread/crust; with lighter notes of coffee, molasses, toffee, dark fruit, smoke, char, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of coconut, dark/black/roast/bready malts, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with big strength. Taste of big toasted coconut, milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and brown bread/crust; with lighter notes of coffee, molasses, toffee, dark fruit, smoke, char, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Light herbal, grassy, peppery, roast, charred bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of toasted coconut, milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, brown bread/crust, coffee, molasses, toffee, dark fruit, smoke, char, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of coconut, dark/black/roast/bready malts, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with an awesome hop/roast bitter/sweet balance; and no cloying, acrid, astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering hop/char bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/silky/bready, and fairly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.2%. Overall this is an awesome flavored milk stout. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of coconut, dark/black/roast/bready malts, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/charred/drying finish. Great soft/silky feel,flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Awesome balance of big authentic coconut flavors and nicely rich malts; with nice earthy hop presence/balance, and restrained fruity yeast. Light residual sweetness with lingering dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and impressive spot on English style example as expected. This certainly has a lot more coconut flavor than the German Chocolate Cake version, but not artificial feeling at all.
