Can (12/20) pour from share with AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! It's an opaque black with good viscosity, thin light brown head with decent retention and trace lacing. Aroma is strong coconut dominant over dark chocolate and late milk chocolate. Taste is strong coconut, lesser chocolate, as aroma. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, creamy texture, soft-to-average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, plenty of coconut, which is good, and this does taste like a Mounds bar, but would have liked the chocolate to be a bit stronger. 3,500th rating!

16 oz. can. Canned: Dec 2020 from the brewery. Refrigerated entire time. Aroma is raw coconut with chocolate. Hints of roast. Flavor shows me plenty of coconut, hints of chocolate and roast. Body is silky with about the right body. Nice.

Can. A- Dark chocolate, coconut, sweet, roasty. A- Black color, black liquid, brown head. T- Sweet, coconut, roasty, dark chocolate, slightly bitter. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, sweet finish. O- This was good, but when you get used to having 12-14% Barrel Aged Pastry Stouts, this hits you a bit different. There was too much sweetness and it became a touch cloying by the end. Good flavor but it needed some coffee or barrel to help cut it a bit. Just didn't quite hit the mark that I expect from a White Elm stout. Still tasty though.

16oz can pours out black topped with a tan head. Nose is chocolate coconut sweetness and some vanilla cream. Taste is more of the nice sweet milk chocolate coconut candy bar roast malts.

16oz can from Tavour. Near black pour, cap of foamy beige head subsides to thin ring. Candy bar aromas, coconut first, followed immediately by chocolate. Taste also begins with the coconut, then layering sweet chocolate before finishing with a bit of roast malts and a light bitter bite.
