On tap at the brewery. Pours black, with a medium, foamy, tan head. The aroma is vanilla, butterscotch, raw coconut, black pepper, and oloroso sherry. Sweet and roasty, with good bitterness to balance. Heavy and decadent.

Can pour from Hop City Krog Street Market, Atlanta. It's an opaque black with nice viscosity, no sparkle, finger-width fizzy light brown head with poor retention and light lacing. Aroma is strong sweet malts with coconut with a hint of anise (like an ouzo), bit of toffee and mild alcohol burn with a deep sniff. Taste is strong nonspecific fruit (apple?) and coconut with bready quality (like one of those cookies with a dollop of fruit in the middle). Mouthfeel is medium bodied with thick texture, no sign of alcohol, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, coconut is pretty muted. Not sure if I like the hint of anise in the aroma or the fruit in the taste. Makes it more complex but not sure it totally works. OK.
