Imperial Brown Ale Aged in Bourbon Barrels with Toasted Coconut Added

This is our bourbon barrel-aged imperial brown ale, Mash, stretching to new levels. Mash & Coconut features nearly 400lbs. of toasted coconut per batch, which ratchets up the complex, native coconut character and complements the oaky and vanilla notes that are imparted to the beer as part of its extensive maturation in bourbon barrels.

Dark sweet malty with some intense cocoa and brown sugar in play, dark sweet malty, coconut and bourbon coalesce into the close 8/3/8/4/16

From tap at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Aroma is caramel toffee malt with soft coconut (a bit too modest for my liking), bourbon, oak, booze, more toffee malt. Sweet and solid, body is medium to full. Bit sugary and sticky, overall a pleasant one, though I would have liked a little more coconut.

Bruery Mash Coconut

Bottle at annual Fryslân tasting. Amber color, small white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, very boozy up front, after initial flavor as well. Pff heavy. Over the top heavy. Bitter. For me, too heavy tbh. 1/3 of a glass is doable but I can't drink nor afford this. Too much. 8-6,5-6,5-6-6,5

Growler shared in London - cheers to Kenny. Pours mostly clear red-brown with a small, creamy off-white head. Medium to big sweet flavour, bit of booze, dates, berries, wood, stewed fruits. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Warming finish, sweet. It not cloying. Tasty.

10th November 2023 Hazy amber brown beer, small bubbly tan head. Palate is airy and mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. I don't get any brown ale character here, this is a barleywine all day long. Good caramel and cream in the malts. The chief protagonist here is bourbon. My god Harrisoni would love this beer, I can hear his voice now 'bourbon, bourbon, BOURBON!' That'll be a lot of bourbon then, boozy and spicy bourbon, ripe fruity bourbon and some savoury damp barrel bourbon underneath. The coconut coconut is judicially added, just a light touch that both integrates with the bourbon and provides a little relief from it. Lovely! This is not so much a beer as a bourbon delivery system! Spicy bourbon linger. Of course!

Botted (2017 Edition). Deep amber colour, off-white head. Aroma is floral, some coconut, mild vanilla, some wood and mild alcohol. Flavour is fruity, floral, some coconut, mild nutty and toffeeish tones. Big'n'bold, good sipper.

A dark brown beer, a head is almost medium and beige. Aroma has lots of dried fruits, raisin, prune, some fresher apricot, very little hinf coconut. Taste has dried fruits, prune, apricot, caramel, hint of coconut, drying end with some barrel. Full bodied, not stickyness. Powerful. Brown ale, well I'm not sure. Great beer. Luckily the amout of coconut is well balanced and not too much.

No source label—can’t remember where I picked this up! Brown with a foamy head of modest duration. Not much to look at. Intriguing aroma that’s a mix of toffee, coconut and bourbon barrel. Taste is caramel and chocolate sweet up front, dry and bitter at the back with the bourbon slowly asserting itself. Full bodied, moderate carbonation—higher than anticipated for the style. Overall, a bruiser but with nice depth, and fairly well balanced. Nice.
