We know. Talking about Bounty in a coconut-chocolate stout is such a cliché but we cannot afford not to do so. From the first sniff until the last sip coconut is everywhere complemented by a more bitter than sweet chocolate tone. A little vanilla and lots of chocolate come from the bourbon barrel but this time we resisted the temptation and didn’t add more vanilla to the composition as the true character of chocolate seemed to be more fascinating. Our second BA coconut imperial stout (after Monster Monday) flashes a completely different side of this nut (that isn’t actually a nut).

Bottle at Mad Kert, courtesy of the crew, thanks a lot! The pour is black as the night, with zero head. Nose is huge on chocolate with hints of booze, light vanilla, some coocnut, molasses and faint coffee. Taste is rather sweet, showing booze, tons of chocolate, some bourbon notes and faint, moderately rosted coconut notes here and there. Closes with a long lasting, sweet, boozy and malty finish, the body is huge and thick and the carbonation is literally zero. None. Decent beer by all means, but the coconut could've been more intense and at least some carbonation wouldn't have hurt.

Bottle@Zinc, Vaasa. Black colour, small brown head. Aroma is chocolate, coconut, some alcohol, toasted and mild toffee tones. Flavour is coconut, alcohol, black chocolate and some nutty tones. Quite big and boozy. Aftertaste is also coconut, alcohol and chocolate.
