The aroma is mild, chocolate and almost no coconut. It drinks like a strong Brown Ale, with light residual sweetness, mix of cacao and chocolate, no coconut, getting quite thin in the finish.

Dark brown colour. It's a bit thin and dry for an Imperial Stout, but it has some decent qualities, of a robust Brown Ale, some chocolate, and tiny amount of coconut.
May be disappointing if thinking of it as an Imperial Stout, but overall it's a decent beer.

16oz on Alex's deck. Appearance: dark brown with a beige head. Aroma: hm, where... is... the... f#$%ing 🥥?! Some weird herbal notes (that's a coconut?!) with roasted malts. Barrel? What's that? Taste: along the same lines. Overall: meh.

Can. Dark brown. Not much head...kind of went up quick and down even faster. Has that thin sort of hollowed out malt smell. On the palate, it's got a little bit of body, which is more than the nose previewed. But it's definitely light (at 7.8%) for something billed as an imperial stout. The flavour is sweet, for sure, but it's pretty bland. Maybe some dark sugar. A hint of roast or coffee. Not getting much in the way of either coconuts or barrel. I mean, a BA coconut impy should be rich, decadent and hedonistic. Russel has held back - quite a bit - on this one. That timidity doesn't serve this beer well.

473mL can, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma reveals gentle oaky barrel character, the subtlest coconut character, and a touch of cola. Flavour brings out cola notes upfront, light-to-moderate oak, and a touch of roast. Really not getting any coconut. There's not a big body either—fairly thin for a BA impie. Nothing wrong with this, but it's pretty underwhelming.
