Canned. Black colour with a mediumsized beigeish brown head, that leaves some lace. Aroma is coffee, roasted malts, coconut, some chocolate and mild syrupy sweetness too. Flavour is roasted malts, chocolate, coconut, coffee, some liquorice and mild lactose sweetness to it. Smooth palate.

Coffee, coconut, nutty. Mildly sweet, pleasant, unremarkable. Eh.

Tap at Craft Room. Pitch black, off white head, medium retention. Excellent aroma, cocoa, coffee, sweet dough, lovely! Taste... Medium, big coconut followed by pleasant coffee. Not too sweet, in fact, nicely dry in the finish. Excellent, no alcohol presence, lean, simply tasty!

15cl draft sample @ Stone Prenzlauer Berg, Berlin. Brune foncée, col crémeux blanc-cassé voire café au lait.Arôme de grains, malt et effet de cooked coconut flakes, petit effet grillé en rétro. Palais est plaisant et léger, retrouve un caractère malté rappelant la signature Stone californienne, petite douceur de noix de coco qui s'ouvre après avoir laissé reposer la bière qcq minutes. Petite touche résiduelle d'huile de flocons de coco. Amertume fine sur la fin, avec un effet malt chocolaté revenant en retrait. Dommage que la bière aie été servie trop froide.

На поиски дальнейших приключений!!!

Can: Almost black, medium-sized loose off-white head, dry bitter-sweet nose with aromas of freshly ground coffee and molecular traces of coconuts, toasty-roasty malt as expected and - as well - a well hidden fruitiness; moderate to solid bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied - not too soft; lingering dryish bitter and mildly sweet toasty and coffeeish finish. Good, but no reason to get excited...

50cl can from Dranken Geers, Oostakker. Pours hazy black with a slowly thinning, unstable, foamy, beige head. Aroma of coffee bean, mocha, milk chocolate, cashew, toast, raisin, earth, coffee liqueur, caramel, salted peanut, only vague coco flakes (probably by association). Taste is light malty sweet, quite chocolatey, nutty edge with peanut & cashew; medium roasted bitter core, pure coffee roast, toast, and only accents of roasted coco flakes (again, association does its tricks); vague very dry fruitiness (raisin) in the back. Dry, herbal & earthy hoppy finish, chocolate powder, mocha, coffee bean, subtle dash of coffee liqueur alcohol. Medium body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. Drinkable coffee Porter, but needs more POW! And coconut.
