Draught@Brewdog Helsinki. Black colour with a mediumsized creamy beigeish brown head, which leaves some lace and lasts for a good while. Aroma is roasted malts, some ashes, vanilla and some mild wooden notes. Flavour is liquorice, roasted malts, some grassy and mild ashy notes along with nice coffeish notes. Quite smooth palate too.

Can sourced from Toft Vin, shared at home with the fam - black pour with tan head. Sweet and light roasted malty, with high coconut prominence, some vanilla accents, dark bitter chocolate, hoppy backing, coconut is touch overpowering and out of balance overall for me.

Handpump at King Arthur (Ciampino-Italy). Black pour, a bit gassy beige foam. Nose: Baileys spirit (wow), milk chocolate, eggs spirit. Mouth: raw roast, coffee-milk (more raw coffee, green beans), dry and super bitter end. Peculiar!

Pours like a stout, black and little head. Aroma is extremely coconuty! Very unexpected, very much in your face. Dark malts underlying the coconut. Mild chocolate mouthfeel. Flavour itself is again intense coconut, woah. Underneath dark malts, chocolate, sweet. Mild. Surprisingly nice considering it’s a "coconut bomb".

Can at ’Cause Beer Loves Food. Imperial porter with snow white, irregularly structured, lightly lacing, moussy head and jet black robe. Lovely bouquet of coconut bread, milk chocolate, cocoa powder, toffee, brown rum, candied dates, black peppercorns, vanilla, haemoglobin iron, hazelnut paste, tonic water, liquorish, elderberry jam. Candied sweetness of dates and raisins in the onset with a ’dimly’ sourish blackcurrant undertone, medium carbo, creamy and oily mouthfeel, bit viscous. Lovely creamy caramelly and lightly nutty malt body, quickly turning very chocolatey as is to be expected in a good imperial porter, coconut flesh sweetness on top, very aromatic, followed by a peppery hop bitter and drying, roasted finish with warming, rum-like alcohol adding further drought. Hop bitterness lasts for a long time, perhaps even getting a bit in the way of the delicious chocolatey malt sweetness, but by all standards a typical high profile, rich, bold and mouthwatering BrewDog product.

Can. Black with a light tan head. Aroma of Bounty - lots of chaffy coconut, some chocolate, lurking roast. 6+ The coconut doesn’t smell as good as the Oskar Blues Death by Coconut I tried recently, but this has a much more pleasant texture - quite light, not greasy. Alcohol is well hidden, carbonation on the low side of moderate. Not as sweet as feared with the coconut not great but back in the mix. Some roasted flavours and decent bitterness at the end help to keep things in check.
