The first fruits of our Tryanuary brewday, this is Tonkoko like you haven't seen her before! Coming in at a mighty 10.6% and (of course) with even more coconut, tonka, chocolate and vanilla. Boozy, indulgent and so good. Very limited quantities, this is a sneak peek before the barrel aged versions are unleashed next year.

Sesongstart på Mi2 Cardinal, hvor vi alle møtte med topptrimmet lever og tilsvarende pågangsmot. Brunsvart med ok skum. Karamelchokolader, vaniulje, kakao, kokos og tonka. Heldigvis ikke for mye av det siste. Fra 0,33 bx.

Аромат шоколадный, немного какао и кофе отдавало, тонка бобы на втором плане, лактоза. Цвет черный, пенки почти нету, хотя пил через драфт. Вкус хороший и сбалансированный. Много шоколада прежде всего, какао а затем бобы тонка и ваниль. Сладко но в меру. Как будто чернослив при послевкусие. В целом ничего нового но все хорошо и сбалансировано.

Can@Zinc Craftbar, Vasa. Pitch black colour, small brown head. Aroma is chocolate, some liqourice, tonka beans, mild vanilla and some coocnut to it as well. Flavour is chocolate, vanilla, coconut, mild alcohol sweetness with some liquorice and mild toasted and nutty tones as well. Nicely in balance. Has the mellowness/gentleness of a UK Imp Stout.

Black beer, not much head, just a filmy tan ring. (Steady...) Flavour is malty, with loads of vanilla and a little coconut. Flavour really leans into the tonka and vanilla which is a big win for me, dash of coconut, sweet and toasty malt, boozy warmth. Rich and very tasty. A little more coconut than I would personally care for but not enough to knock it.
