Got from Beer Drop. 3/17/25 on bottom of the can.
Pours so dark that no light comes through. A vigorous pour yielded aboot 10 seconds of tan foam then, poof. No lacing.
The smell is cocoa, vanilla, cinnamon and the coconut, just like the name says.
The taste is cocoa nibs, vanilla, some cinnamon and coconut with a warming presence of alcohol. Yeah, 14%.
Mouthfeel is full with low carbonation but it doesn't need much fizz.
Lots of flavours here and they work fine together.
Local buy? It would be an occasional buy.

Aromas are really nice blend of resin, MJ, citrus, malt. Flavors are similar to nose; All of the aromatic qualities come out more. Great balance between sweet, bitter and carbonation. Glad I got a four pack.

Bought locally, canned May 15th.
Gorgeous pour with a 2 finger head of foam, excellent retention and very good lacing.
Smell is hoppy as in piney, some grass, toasted malt.
The taste is piney, grassy, toasted malt, quite flavourful for 4.2%abv. Same abv as some macro light Lagers.
Body is better than I reckoned it would be.
A go to for me until I can't find it anymore.

From Beer Drop.
Pours a clear deep amber with an inch of foam, retention and lacing very good.
Smell is malty with some bread, hint of nuttiness, light hop presence.
Taste is malty, light sweet notes, light nuttiness, low level of bitterness. I don't seem to pick up any grain such as corn...
Good mouthfeel, overall good Amber Lager. I would probably drink this again.

On tap at Peders. Pours black with a tan head. Tons of rich vanilla and bourbon on the nose, some light cocoa powder on top. Flavour has tons of rich vanilla, bourbon, charred oak, deep roasty base. This is excellent.

On tap at Peders, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is full of rich vanilla beans, a nice bourbon barrel expression, and gentle cocoa. Flavour is wonderfully rich, with intense vanilla beans, massive bourbon barrels, some cocoa, and burnt sugars. Tons of vanilla and bourbon with deep complexity. Beauty.
Pre-MBCC 2025 gathering.
Sweet, chocolate, a bit earthy. Taste is along the same lines, a bit roasty with a lot of barrel character. Good one.

On tap at Mikkeller Vik, pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma is complex, with gentle cinnamon, complex dark malts, dark sugars, and all sorts of bourbon. Flavour is complex, with tons of dark sugars, cinnamon, dark dried fruits, bourbon, and plenty of sweet sugary notes on the finish. Complex and cohesive but could use some dialling down on the sweetness. Good.
