Draught at the brewery, 2/15/19.
Pours a milk chocolate-to-dark-mahogany brown with a small, creamy, light tan head showing moderate-to-low retention.
The cinnamon is certainly there yet the lactose and coconut, while present, are very tastefully done. A bit of brownie batter sweetens things, but there is some dark fruit/vinous-like acidity to help balance and no alcohol or flaw are noted.
In the mouth it's soft, creamy, tightly carbonated and shows low roast and a wonderful coconut character that I enjoy despite almost never liking the way coconut is done in beers. Cinnamon and lactose are apparent but not overdone and the beer shows pretty good attenuation and a good depth of malt. No alcohol or flaw.
