A kiloton is "a unit of explosive power equivalent to 1,000 tons of TNT" and it's the measuring unit used to evaluate atomic and nuclear devices. In 1946, beginning with the detonation of a 21 kiloton device, the United States began nuclear testing at islands in the Pacific. These tests damaged the islands and much of their vegetation but "nature always finds a way" and the first element to prove it's resilience and return was the coconut. Here we recognize that fastidious fruit by brewing an Imperial Dark Ale with so much toasted coconut that it literally explodes with coconut flavor. Being an Able Baker beer, however, that's simply not enough so we aged it in Woodford Reserve bourbon barrels and then rested it on cocoa nibs. The result is a sultry, boozy, brew with bold, upfront coconut, and reserved tinges of chocolate and cherrywood.

Panda courtesy of Theydon_Bois, cheers Colin! Dark brown-black colour, thin bubbly rim and aroma of roasty malt, bourbon barrel. Taste is sweet, malty, coconut, dark chocolate, coffee, brown sugar, with roasted bittterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, rich malty roasty bitter finish. Nicely drinkable.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Near clear dark brown beer, small bubbly tan head. Light palate, a little dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin bodied dark malts do not lack in flavour. Good dark chocolate. A nice mildly savoury coconut streak. A little milk chocolate. Mellow coffee underneath. A light and semi dry finish leaves a choccy coconut linger. Pretty smooth and drink able.

Dark brown, no head. Aroma has lots of coconut, a bit of barrel. Lots of sweet coconut, the malts are a bit flabby. This isn’t great on the palate despite the aroma.

Short goblet pour at Able Baker Vegas. Inky black, brown accents, oatmeal lace. Smells of bitter chocolate, nutty liquor, sharp rum, old wood, some oxidation. Laquer-ish, sweet coconut rum, with a milk chocolate & lingering cherry bark finish. Warming, silky, perfect in small doses.
