At Hopishop 2017. Aroma of chocolate, coconut, cacao and some sweet roasted malt. Taste has chocolate, earthy coconut, cacao powder, vanilla, cream and sweet-ish roasted malt. Nice and flavorful, but somehow I expected even more from it.

Bourbon barrel aged coconut porter of unusual strength even for an imperial one. Medium thick, lightly lacing, yellowish beige head, very dark burgundy brown robe, approaching black. Aroma of coconut candy, toffee, dried figs, molten chocolate, treacle, brown sugar, candied dates, brown rum but also a very unpleasant slurry pit-like odour - this clearly harbours sone kind of infection, sadly. Sweet onset, candied figs topped with treacle, light sourish and umami accents. Lots of residual brown sugar and big coconut flavourings penetrate a sweet caramelly and chocolatey malt body; Bounty candy- and even marzipan-like notes linger with some hoppy spiciness and the obvious rum-like booze, yet the latter manages to behave surprisingly decent - I would never have suspected such a towering ABV in this. A lovely idea - accentuating the (admittedly largely arbitrary) distinction between imperial stout and imperial porter with extra sugar and coconut sweetness. Would have been a fantastic dessert beer if it weren't for that off-putting slurry pit-like aspect in the nose, which prevents me from granting it a top score.

22 oz bottle. Pours very deep brown with an off-white head. Sweet cocoa syrup and molasses aroma. Flavor is sweet cocoa, molasses, with vanilla and some bourbon tones. Quite nice, but also quite sweet (as is to be expected)!

22 ounce bottle into snifter; no bottle dating, but is a recent release. Pours nearly opaque dark brown/black color with a 1 finger dense light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, toffee, cream, fudge, marshmallow, coconut, bourbon, and toasted oak; with light notes of molasses, smoke, char, coffee, mint, herbal, and roast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great complexity and balance of dark/roast malts, lactose, vanilla, cocoa, and bourbon barrel notes; with great strength. Touch of booze in the aromas as it warms, but not overwhelming. Taste of big milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, toffee, cream, fudge, marshmallow, coconut, bourbon, and toasted oak; with light notes of molasses, smoke, char, coffee, mint, herbal, and roast/toasted earthiness. Light herbal hop/roast bitterness and bourbon/oak spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, toffee, cream, fudge, marshmallow, coconut, bourbon, toasted oak, light molasses/smoke, and roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast malts, lactose, vanilla, cocoa, and bourbon barrel flavors; with a nice roasted bitter/sweet and bourbon/oak spiciness balance; with zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Slightly drying from roast bitterness and bourbon/oak spiciness. Mild carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/silky/velvety, and slightly chalky/tannic mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden; a mildly increasing warmth, with minimal booziness lingering after the finish. Overall this is an awesome barrel aged imperial porter. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast malts, lactose, vanilla, cocoa, and bourbon barrel flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to sip on for the huge ABV. For 9 months in the barrel it's not huge on bourbon, but definitely adequate. Never overly sweet or heavy, but definitely rich on flavors as expected for a dessert style beer. A really enjoyable offering.
