Imperial stout with cocoa and toasted coconut by this rather elusive British craft brewer, thanks Craftmember for sharing! Chocolate milk-coloured (reddish brown) foam, immediately dissolving into absolutely nothing over an ink black beer with a copper-red edge of about one millimeter. Intense aroma of more fresh than toasted coconut, macaroons, milk chocolate, Bounty candy, biscuit cake, dame blanche, cocoa nibs, vanilla, almond, pecan nut pie, latté macchiato, Belgian chocolates, espresso, After Eight cookies, rum. Densely sweet onset, reduced fig jam and blackberry coulis, muscovado-like sugariness, sticky even; soft carb with very thick, oily mouthfeel. Slabs of dark chocolate, toffee, mocha, latté and hazelnut ice cream ensue, sweet but always with this thin nutty side which evolves into more outspoken coffeeish bitterness towards the end, where the cocoa intensifies the overall chocolateyness and the coconut adds a tropical, candy-ish, rum-like effect, all warmed up by liqueurish alcohol. ‘Fat’, rich flavoured stout, very intense and decadent as usual with this brewery – a formula which does not always entirely work for me, but here it most certainly does. No match for a blaster, indeed…
