The time has come to release the Wicked Lobstrosity upon you. We took our chocolate coffee robust porter & added oats & toasted coconut. We also increased the cacao nibs by about 20%. This one has a little more body & the nose on this one is ridiculous.

16oz can pours a muddy chocolate brown with some ringing off white head. As it warmed, the nose was quite nice, bread crust and rye, cocoa nib, carob too, something a touch funky, earthy. Flavor has more coconut meat, cocoa nib, hints of coffee grounds, malt, toast, caramel. Finishes off dry with some creaminess.

Tap. Pours opaque black, small beige head, good lacing. Aroma is coconut, chocolate, a touch of smoke, nice coffee accents. Flavor is medium sweet, light bitter. Full body, creamy mouthfeel. Quite nice. Compares well to last snow, a bit smokier.
