Poured from 750mL bottle. Dark brown with small beige head. Cocoa and toasted coconut. It's a bit thin in the mouth, but actually makes it very drinkable with all the flavour. Alcohol is very hidden.

750mL bottle, pours a deep dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is full of coconut and figs upfront, with a touch of cocoa. Flavour is loaded with coconut upfront, followed by dried fruit, and secondarily, brown sugar and molasses. The flavours are nicely integrated, yet the palate is extraordinarily light—quite thin and silky. Very interesting that a 10% imperial stout could be this light on the palate, yet still deliver in the flavour profile. Very nice... unusual.

Can: Poured a cloudy/hazy yellow color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of bright and juicy hops notes of citrus and tropical notes is quite nice. Taste is also a good mix of citrusy hops notes and light tropical notes with some residual sugar notes. Body is full with good carbonation. Solid NEIPA with great juicy hops.
