With an infusion of freshly toasted coconuts and a touch of seasonal sorcery, Brewmaster Matt "Merlin" Brynildson conjures up Coconut Merlin - a uniquely flavored brew for fall and winter.

The fresh coconut addition perfectly accentuates the beer’s roasty, nutty character. The lactose gives a rounded mouthfeel & suggestion of sweetness resulting in the perfect combination of flavors in this first-time release from Firestone Walker.

150ml draught at Agenturet Øl og Vinbar. Shared with Frau Eva. Solid upper part lacing on the glass from a patchy, beige head. Coal black in the glass. Promising aromas of chocolate and nuts, lightly smoked. Well-blended taste of chocolate, coconut, and biscuit, lactose backbone. Rounded malt-driven finish, nicely roasted. Well pleased with this one. (Tromsø 13.05.2020).

22/4/2020. Sample courtesy of the SHIG, cheers! Pours dark mahogany brown with a maroon tint and a small beige head. Aroma of dark chocolate, coconut, moderate roasted malt, creamy toffee, nut and dark fruits. Medium sweetness, light bitterness. Moderate body, slight creamy texture, soft carbonation. The coconut doesn’t overpower. Bit sweet to finish. Quite drinkable.
