Can, 0.473l. Aroma of chocolate, bourbon, caramel, vanilla and coconut. Pours almost black color with medium sized frothy brown head and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts with sweet chocolate and coconut, follows by bourbon, molasses, vanilla and roasted malt, mouthfeel is warm alcoholic, while finish is mild bitter. Full body, thick creamy texture and average carbonation in palate. Bruemaster...

Pours black, medium sized, medium to medium low stability , tanned head. Smell is heavy, chewy, roasted, chocolate, intense. Taste is very full, intense, roasty, mild alcohol heat , coconut starts relatively mild, but builds up towards the aftertaste. Vanilla is very mild. Roastyness ( at the start ) makes the beer a bit bitter ( at first ) which is different to the sugar-infested bomb the bruery usually produces ( don't get me wrong, i do love them ) , this makes a nice difference in their range. Coco isn't my favorite additive, but it's well used here. Clearly recognizable, yet not overpowering. A full bodied beer wit medium to medium low carbonation, and a long finish.

On tap. Pours a very dark brown with little head. Aromas of sweet chocolate, light coconut and slick roasted malts. Definite macaroons and coconut in the flavor. On top of a sweet chocolate and oily roasted malt base. Good carbonation and not too sticky. Pretty clean. Very nice.

The Aromas are roast, dark malt, black patent, and hints of coconut and vanilla. Flavors are similar to nose, really just another sweet big Stout. Too sweet. Okay body and a very alcoholic finish.

Pint can. Nose is coconut and chocolate. Black. Flavor is tart, with grapes, chocolate, coconuts. Very sweet to the point of expecting a diabetic seizure.
