Poured from a 500 ml bottle. Aroma is fairly coconut forward with moderate chocolate notes. Some light roast and hints of dark fruit and anise. Light bourbon and faint oak notes. Coconut aroma is a bit sweet and bordering on sunscreen character. Pours black with a medium sized, thick dark mocha head that recedes somewhat quickly to the edges where it lingers for a bit. No lacing and moderately long legs. Flavor is fairly sweet with moderately strong chocolate notes. Light caramel and toffee with a bit of roast as well. Medium bitterness. Moderate coconut notes with a light, sweet sunscreen note. Light bourbon and alcohol spice with a bit of fair oak and dark fruit notes. Mouthfeel is full bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice imperial stout. The coconut is a bit sunscreen like, but the beer is less bitter and astringent than the maple version.
