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.

440ml can. Poured almost black in colour with a short-lived, fizzy tan head. The aroma is roasted malt, coconut and tonka beans. The flavour is over moderate sweet, with a smooth, rich, roasty, dark chocolate, boozy alcohol bitter palate. There was no vanilla in my can as was advertised. The alcohol dominated and burned. Not entirely impressed.

On tap at eretici beer festival. So smooth, with crazy Tonka, coconut, milk chocolate, prunes, with a finish of amaretto and sour cherries. Amazing, as someone who lives Tonka Beans this is awesome.
