355ml bottle. Clear (?) mahogany colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, beige head. Nuttily, dark malty aroma with a chocolately touch, "holistic" notes of coconut ("inside" and "outside" parts), a touch of roast, Taste is dry, dark malty, rather intense notes of coconut run the spectrum of variations from fresh to roasty; chocolately interludes. Lasting finish, minimally sticky palate. Absolutely convincing use of coconut.

(Bottle, 0.355 l - BB Feb 10 16, 20160825) The beer poured dark brown and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had roasted malts, coconut and caramel. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were roasted malts, coconut, caramel, grass and bitterness. Aftertaste was roasty and bitter. A decent brew where the coconut was hidden almost enough.

Bottle pour into nonic pint glass from Greg & Jane’s Beer and Wine. Aroma is strong coconut over nuts, caramel and vanilla. Appearance is clear dark amber to red with minimal sparkle, two-finger width frothy beige head with poor retention and minimal trace lacing. Taste is strong coconut and toffee/caramel (like a dark coconut rum). Palate is light-to-medium bodied with thick, creamy texture, average-to-lively carbonation and sweet, long finish. Overall, the coconut dominates and ordinarily might make me deduct points from veering too far from a standard brown ale, but since it comes from Hawaii it seems like more of an authentic variation. Yum!
