Can. A- Coconut, macaroons, cocoa. A- Black color, black liquid, fizzy khaki head. T- Toasted coconut, slightly sweet, chocolate, sugar cookies. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- Wow. Picking this up I figured I was just buying another gimmicky pastry stout from a brewery I didn't know. I should've grabbed the other cans I saw from them because this turned out to be very tasty. Lots of toasted coconut and cookie flavor. Sweet but far from cloying. Really enjoyed this one. The carbonation might have been a touch too high, I did wish for a creamier body overall, but hard to find any complaints with this delicious treat. Worth the hype of the 4 of us that have rated it so far.

Hazy copper-gold pour with a medium frothy white head that diminishes gradually to a film. Partial rings of lace. Resiny hop, tropical fruit and malt in the nose. Medium body with flavors of herbal hops, tropical fruit and bready malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a lingering fruity and resiny hop aftertaste. Good beer all around.

This beer pours a dark brown color with mahogany around the edges and a medium beige head that dissipates steadily to a dense film. Patchy lacing. Aroma of roast coffee, malt and chocolate. Medium to full body with flavors of espresso, roasted malt and bittersweet chocolate. The finish is roasty with a coffee and malt aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
