Imperial stout with vanilla and coconut. A big decadent, dark and roasty stout with vanilla sweetness and shed loads of coconut.

50cl bottle. aroma of brown cake, toffee, dark caramel, dark chocolate, coconut (lots) , licorice (a little), lakridskonfekt. flavor is coconut, sweetness like honey in coffee, fainter rubbery roasted malty note, brown sugar, milk chocolate, cake frosting with coconut flavor. very sweet and very coconut and not really that tasty by my personal preferences, texture and quality feel is very high though, it feels and tastes like an ass-kicking imp stout with lots of body. Flavor is dominated by coconut and vanilla, not really the roasted malts or hops or barrelling, which i would prefer.

500 ml bottle, from KWM Wines & Spirits. ABV is 10%. Pitch black colour, moderate brown head. Aroma of chocolate, vanilla, toasted coconut, a hint of mild coffee. Cloying / sticky and oily mouthfeel. Exceedingly sweet flavour, with the same elements as the aroma, way too much lactose and coconut. Overkill.
