Can from Beerdome. Aroma is coconut and biscuits with dark malt, caramel, vanilla, some roast, powdery cocoa and milk chocolate. Flavour is sweet with a mild roasty bitterness. Body is medium. I love coconut even more than peanuts in my Stout and I had high expectations for this after having adored the peanut brittle edition, but unfortunately it didn't all come together as well as I'd hoped.

15/II/21 - 1Pt. can, 2018 vintage @ My Birthday Fire Basket Tasting, BB: VI/21/19 (2021-135) Thanks to Erwin for sharing the can!
Clear dark reddish brown beer, small creamy off-white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: bit oxidized, lots and lots of coconut, some chocolate, some lactose, some dried fruits. MF: very lively carbon, medium body. Taste: nice, lots and lots of coconut, bit sugary, caramel, more coconut, good roast, little bitter. Aftertaste: more coconut, bit dry, some caramel, sweet touch, more coconut, slightly acidic, good roast, some caramel. I have no idea what Germans have with coconut, but this is one tasty beverage for sure! :-D

Can shared at “Some Beers With Jmgreenuk, December ‘18. Dark brown with a ring tan head. Aroma of coconut, sun tan lotion, vanilla and caramel. Flavour is heavy sweet. Full bodied with soft carbonation.
Can at some beers with Jim Green. Almost black colour, thin beige head. Aroma is very sweet, coconut, vanilla, artificial, chocolate. Flavour follows, almost chemical, over the top, still not the worst of the lot. Light bodied.

16 ounce can into pint glass, best before 5/11/2017. Pours nearly opaque dark brown/black color with a 1-2 finger dense khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big coconut, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, vanilla, cream, toasted dark bread, light smoke, and herbal/roasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of coconut, cocoa/lactose, and dark/roast/bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big coconut, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, vanilla, cream, toasted dark bread, light smoke, and herbal/roasted earthiness. Light herbal/roasted bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of coconut, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, vanilla, cream, toasted dark bread, and herbal/roasted earthiness for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of coconut, cocoa/lactose, and dark/roast/bready malt flavors; with a great roasted bitter/sweet balance, and zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Slight dryness from herbal/roast bitterness, lightly increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready, and lightly silky/sticky/chalky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.2%. Overall this a great flavored milk stout! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of coconut, cocoa/lactose, and dark/roast/bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink. Very flavorful with great coconut presence, without overwhelming the base stout. A very enjoyable offering.
