Brewery draught, 9/5/25.
Dark, clear. Small, tan head.
Nose is rich, fudgey malts with some vegetal rum and big bourbon spice. Good sweetness to the bourbon and rum, and of course the coconut which is fruity and forward. Pleasing acidity keeps it balanced and no alcohol is noted.
Sweet, not too sweet, though, with excellent acidity and mild roast alongside both fruity and toasted coconut character. Some rum dryness and plentiful sweet, round, soft, moderately spicy bourbon. Good deal of coconut, but it's endearing. Not syrupy or excessively sweet. Very nice, as usual from LLBW.
