Barrel Aged Coconut Imperial Stout
Copious amounts of toasted coconut, carried by the way of the African swallow. How did we get so much coconut? It’s a simple question of weight ratios, if you’re interested.

On tap at The Magnet. Pours black with a tan head. Loads of coconut and dark chocolate on the nose. Flavour has a ton of coconut, dark chocolate malts, some charred wood in the background. There's some bourbon character that's buried in there, but it's pretty subtle. Great pastry stout with intense coconut.

Dark brown colour. Aroma of dark sugars, chocolate, light coconut. Full bodied and smooth; moderate sweetness; chocolate flavour, dark sugars, very light coconut; warming alcohol.
It's good, but not the strongest offering from Backcountry.

473 ml can. Pours a very dark brown with short fizzy tan head that dissipates quickly. Aromas of coconut. vanilla, chocolate syrup and slick roasted malts. Flavors of same. Sweet. Little, if any barrel character; maybe some oak. Hot finish. I think the non BA is much better.

16oz @ home shared with Alex (thx for the beer!). Appearance: dark brown with a beige head. Aroma: pretty nice mix of chocolate and coconut, a lot of American oak. Taste: coconut, booze, a bit of meaty notes, moderately sweet. Overall: pretty good, but not as good as Turbo Lover or Keep The Change.

Pours thick, black, with a thin head. Aroma has a fair amount of coconut. On the palate, it's rich, with lots of oily toasted coconut character, and deep chocolate. Sweet, boozy finish with a somewhat mellow barrel character.

473mL can, pours jet black with a tiny light brown head. Aroma is loaded with coconut upfront, light cola, and a touch of bourbon. Flavour is quite rich, with plenty of coconut, some cola, and soft barrel. For something with allegedly so much coconut, the coconut is not supported well by the base beer, which is a bit flimsy. The barrels are also subdued. The palate is rather subdued for such a big beer. I like it but I recall the base beer being much better.
