A full-bodied, velvety treat. A blend of the creamy richness of dark chocolate, alongside the goodness of fresh lightly-toasted coconut. A burst of roasted malts and subtle coconut flavour will transport your palate to a beachy paradise, whilst you’re snuggled on the sofa.

440ml can. Gluten Free. Black-brown colour with reddish tinge, beige foam head leaving lacing and aroma of chocolate & coconut. Taste is dark malt, coconut, chocolate, light bitter. Smooth mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft carbonation, lingering coconut at the finish. Nicely drinkable.

Pours black, medium sized, slightly tanned head with medium high stability. Scent is coconut milk, just a minor ashy touch underneath from the roast. Taste is sharp, coconut-candy, coconut milk. Very soapy to me. fairly sweet. mild roastyness. Not as sharp ashy as I'm used to in NA stouts, making the actual beer better. The coconut , however, is so damn chemical and poorly blended in, that the beer isn't really enjoyable to me.

440ml can. Pours black, receding beige head. Lovely chocolate and coconut aroma. Taste is exactly what I hoped it would be. Smooth, great coconut and chocolate notes with a nice full body. Nice.

0.44 l can from 'OnderNulPuntVijf', best before February 2022. Black with a thin, frothy, almost stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, slightly roasty aroma of milk chocolate, coffee and coconut. Quite sweet, malty, gently roasty taste of milk chocolate, coffee, coconut and traces of raisins, followed by a short, minimally bitter, gently roasty finish. Thin to medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Nice!

Black with a thick creamy tan head. Aroma of cocoa, coconut, and roast. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter. Light to medium bodied with soft carbonation. Pretty impressive for a NA.
