Pours mahogany tinged black into an English pint. Mocha head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Cocoa and coconut aromas. Thick with sweet cherry, cocoa, vanilla and coconut upfront turning to chalky espresso in the slick, lasting finish. Becomes cloying as it warms

Draught at Everett location, 3/5/22. Dark ebony, maybe a touch of clarity? Tan head slowly fades to nothing. Nose is far less adjunct heavy than expected, showing more coffee, dark chocolate and light vanilla, with a good deal of caramel and chocolate-like malt notes. I do get some coconut, but it's not pervasive or dominant. Doesn't seem intensely fudgey-milky so the lactose seems to be in check, as well. Hint of alcohol warmth. In the mouth it's surprisingly lighter in body. This is definitely not a viscous, chewy, syrupy, sweet rendition. Well-attenuated, bordering dry, with soy, coconut, vanilla, fudge and tons of baker's chocolat lingering. Warms up nicely, gaining some much needed sweetness. Very nice restraint on the lactose and coconut; two ingredients that I feel always need a lot of restraint.
