(500ml bottle from the brewery) Pours quite dark brown with a small but stable dark tan head and some spotty lace. Aroma is deep dark bread roasty malt with layers of caramelized and burnt sugars, slightly nutty (peanuts), unsweetened cacao earthiness, lots of fresh white coconut creaminess, floral vanilla accents, very nice. Flavour is massively white coconut up front, definitely the dominant adjunct, giving a sweet impression even though the malt body itself isn't heavily sugared, nice dark bread/cake kind of vibe to it, some burnt but not ashy sugar, rich cacao, nutty edges, vanilla is pretty smooth and nicely floral, but quite present from mid-sip on. Finish is drying, coconut still definitely there, softly roasty, no acidity from the roast though, earthy cacao with just enough sweetness to get to choc milk vibes thanks to the coconut creaminess. Light to medium body, oily, average carbonation, no alcohol. Really nice flavours here, missing a little body/structure that would boost it into the higher echelon of pastry (maybe flattered on tap by nitro?) but solid work.
