Sample at the brewery. Brown-black pour with a medium thin beige head that recedes steadily to a film. Small patches of lace. Aroma of roast malt, chocolate, coconut and vanilla. Full-bodied with flavors of chocolate malt, toasted coconut, hazelnut and vanilla. The finish is sweet with a chocolate-covered coconut aftertaste. Good beer all around.
