Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers. Aroma of chocolate, vanilla coconut and roasted malts. Taste is much the same. A little bit sugary and fizzy.

330ml can from Beer52 Croatia box. Pours blacks with moderate sized fizzy tanned head which recedes fairly quickly, leaves some minor retention. Aroma is big on coconut, roasted malts, chocolate and vanilla also noticeable. Big fan of coconut so I like this. Taste is bounty bar, roasted malts, some caramel, very chocolaty. Light to medium bodied, slick but a little light for a 5.5% stout. Its all very well having 9 different malts but if the flavours don't hang around the palate long then its a bit of a waste. Its a tasty beer but lacks some complexity that I think a more substantial body would bring.

Can from Beer 52. Pours almost completely black with a large but transient frothy dark beige / chocolate brown head. Roast malts and chocolate combine in the aroma. Mouth feel has cocoa cola and cough mixture briefly, before malts, chocolate and vanilla come through. Hints of lactose too. Finish has milky coffee and chocolate. Quite nice.

30/8/2021. Can sample courtesy of SHIG, cheers. My Garden Brewery rating #50. Pours very dark brown with a small fine bubbly beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, coconut, vanilla. Medium sweetness, light roasted bitterness. Moderate body, oily watery texture, quite fizzy carbonation. Sweet coconut became quite dominant, rather artificial. Mixed feelings on this one.

Can! Huge thanks Hrabren! Very dark brown body, off white, head, traces thereof. Quite perfumey aroma, coconut and light tonka, sweet, it is what it is. Lean, sweetish taste, tonka and coconut again, roughly equally there, quite drinkable and simplistic. Nothing too wild, but it serves its stated purpose well.

0.33 l can shared with Marko. Dark brown, small beige head. Dark malts, caramel, cocoa, some coconut, some dried fruit or tart fruit, sweet-smelling, that would be tonka. After awhile it softens out and coconut dominates. Light to medium body, moderately creamy, dark chocolate, roasted malts, slightly burnt, sweet sugary counterbalance, good balance, cocoa and coconut in the flavour again, roasted nuts, some caramel. Quite rich. Moderate carbonation, finishes slightly sweet. Very good, quite complex, nothing stands out.

33cl can via Beer52: BB 18th Feb 2022. Drank on 13th Aug 2021 while staying with Matt & Amy. More or less black bodied, thin tan topping. 9 different malts used (and only 1 hop variety), guess what flavours dominated? Yip, it's malty, add the cacoa and vanilla and you've got an interesting flavoured milky Stout.

[33cl can from Beer52.] An opaque, peaty coloured pour with a loose beige head; sweet vanilla aroma; vanilla taste to start with a sour grainy body; then a Bounty bar finish with sweet coconut and chocolate. Different, but not really my kind of thing.

Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 08/08/21. Light black with a tan cap that clears to a swirl. Nose is light roast, cocoa powder, toffee, hint of coconut, ashen tones. Taste comprises sweet malts, chocolate, Tonka bean, coconut shavings, caramel, brown sugar dusting. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Decent flavoursome stout.
