Draft at Drafting Table. Pours a deep brown to black with a quickly dissipating off-white head. Huge coconut aromas with vanilla and bourbon as it warms. Nice medium bodied stout that isn't too thin.

A touch hot, but solid. --- Beer merged from original tick of Bourbon Barrel Mean Coconut Bean on 08 Oct 2019 at 17:37 - Score: 8. Original review text: Check out the deets on Brewver
