Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is smooth coconut with dark malt, oak, rum, some milk chocolate, caramel and vanilla, lightly alcohol. Flavour is around medium sweet with a light bitterness and a light boozines. Body is full. Balanced and fairly delicate, coconut is there but supportive of the general aroma, rum, very nice.

Tight beige head left a spotty cover on a black still body. Malt, coconut, roasted & nutty aroma. Medium to full bodied, smooth, oily & clean on the back. Malt, coconut, rum, liquorice & jam tastes with a big boozy finish. Yeah - A good one.

Semi opaque dark brown beer, very short lived bubbly tan head. Palate is light foe the style, light and minerally crisp.. Thin dark chocolate malts, thin but tasty. A pleasant coconut vibe blends in well, but it's not a rich enough beer to really sing 'Bounty Bar'. Rum is obvious but not heavy and also well integrated. Light crispy finish. Hmmm - a nice beer and very well done but it lacks a rich palate and a rich base to make it the sumptuous treat that I wanted it to be.

The Aromas are rum, dark malt and Industrial glue. Appearances are very dark opaque Brown with a very short-lived soda pop fizzy head. Flavors are similar to nose, quite sweet with What Might Have Been coconut is now some artificial chemical thing. Not that Pleasant. Okay body and again unpleasant finish. These guys normally make much better beer I don't know what happened here. Just barely drinkable, Maybe.

Thanks! Sampled draft @ Billie’s Beer Festival 2018. Day 2. Dark brown, uneven head. Nose is insanely alcoholic pure booze, varnish, paint thinner,… Taste is pure crude varnish, paint thinner, alcohol, all booze, yikes undrinkable crude booze thinned out whatever base was no coconut, undrinkable.

Draft at Billie’s Beer Festival ‘18.  Dark brown with a ring tan head.  Aroma of massive boozy rum, hot alcohol, fruity notes, caramel and oak.  Flavour is heavy sweet.  Light full bodied with soft carbonation.  Too much alcohol.
