Draught. Opaque black liquid with medium to big tan head. Aroma of chocolate, raw sugar, caramel, light coffee, dried fruit and toast. Taste is light to medium sweet and light bitter with notes of chocolate, raw sugar, raisins, caramel and light coffee. Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Pretty nice, drinkable and complex.

Opaque brown beer, small pale tan head. Palate is softish and semi dry. mild fine carbonation. Tangy mellow dark malts, touch of unsweet dark chocolate. Nowhere near as much as coconut as I was expecting, quite a light touch. Semi dry finish. If they were going for a Bounty Bar vibe, I don’t think this quite pulls it off but it’s tasty and drinkable.

330ml bottle @ Brewdog Helsinki (Disclaimer: yes, I own 2 Brewdog shares)

Pours pitch black with foamy dark brown head. Aroma of roasty malts, coconut, cocoa, white chocolate, coffee and syrup. Taste is smooth, malty, slightly roasty and nutty with some coconut, cocoa, vanilla, coffee and syrupy notes. Finish is smooth, malty and slightly roasty with some coconut, cocoa and milk chocolate. A bit light bodied, but pretty tasty and smooth coconut porter.
