Can (21039--2/8/21) pour. It's an opaque black with nice sparkle at the edges of the glass, finger-width crackling, light brown, tight foamy head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is strong, roasted malt dominant with milder vanilla and transient whiffs of faint coconut. Taste follows aroma with mostly straightforward roasted malt (though not as dominant as aroma), not much vanilla and, a late bit of coconut and light cherry. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with frothy texture, soft-to-average carbonation and fairly weak finish as taste. Overall, vanilla and coconut need to be much higher in the mix. Wanted to love this but a bit disappointing.

16 oz. can traded by tfontana. Aroma is chocolate malt and slight coffee. Flavor is mild roasted malt, coffee, chocolate-ish. After sipping on this for over 15 minutes I can’t find coconut. Body is real lean for the style. 25 minutes later, still no coconut found.
