Draft at Dominion Wine & Beer. Poured a motor-oil pitch black color with an ecru head. Aroma was huge roasted coffee notes, smoothest vanilla I've had in a long time. Pleasant coconut, light sweetness that I want to say is marshmallow, but never is in these kinds of beers, maybe vanilla. Tastes like a boozy s'more with coconut. It was delicious.

$5.65 pint can, WW. Pours thick and syrupy, black, small brown head. Cocoa, coconut, chocolate, coffee, vanilla, caramel nose. Flavor is marshmallow, vanilla, chocolate, salted peanuts (I don't think these actually exist in this beer), coconut, coffee. Sweet but that salted peanut flavor cuts it and it's not sickly. Alcohol is hidden, but you know it's there - this thing is thick.
