Growler fill from Growler Guys. Aroma is toasted coconut, licorice, faint green pepper, wet river rock. Pours inky black with minimal tan foam. Taste is sweet and bitter with flavors of the aroma along with noticeable warming alcohol. Tasty shit, bro.

On draught at 101 Beer Kitchen. Black pour with a medium thick tan head that diminishes gradually to a film. Patchy lacing on the glass. Aroma of roast malt, coffee and coconut. Full-bodied with flavors of coffee, vanilla, malt and toasted coconut. The finish is roasty with a coconut coffee aftertaste. Good beer all around.

Tap at J’s. Pours a deep brown to black with a small half-finger of head that lingers. Tons of roasted espresso and dark chocolate on the nose with sweet toasted coconut. More sweet coconut on the palate with roasty coffee. Semi-sweet finish with lots of lingering toasted coconut and deep espresso notes. --- Beer merged from original tick of Ballast Point Victory at Sea - Coconut on 29 Dec 2016 at 20:50 - Score: 8. Original review text: Tons of roasted espresso and dark chocolate on the nose with sweet toasted coconut. More sweet coconut on the palate with roasty coffee.

This was poured into a mini-snifter. The appearance was a black color with a quickly dissipating finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated immediately. Strings of lace initially cling to the glass but end up sliding down gracefully.
The aroma balances between the roasty to sweet coffee bean, manages to get some sweet cocoa powder in there and then the balancing coconut sweetness.
The flavor smoothly leans to the roasty side and then brings the cocoa in sweetly. Coconut is there but dry and sweet. Definitely a dry robust coffee to cocoa bean aftertaste. Quick semi-sweet/roasty finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a good sipping robust quality about it. Mild carbonation yields to the robust coffee beans exacting a moderate sticky appeal along my tongue.
Overall, Ballast Point may have sold out but at least this variant of this beer turned out extremely good.

22 ounce bottle. Pours a translucent dark brown color topped by a medium-sized rocky tan head. Rich roasted malt nose with notes of coconut and coffee. Taste is Bittersweet roasted malt and coffee upfront. I am picking up notes of dark chocolate, vanilla and warming alcohol. The sweet coconut comes in late and adds another layer of flavor. As the beer warms, it develops more complexity and depth. This is a real sipping brew that is a must try, though difficult to find.
