A pint can that came from my last purchase at Half Time Beverages in NY. I can appreciate coconut added to an imperial stout, so let us see what Aurora does with this one. A globe glass arrayed, I tilt the cooled can inside of it. A thick, jet black body with an appropriate top of khaki tan foam that slowly settles to a cover. The nose is grain, chocolate malt and a hint of vanilla, not really inspiring. I take a drink and find that is an improvement somewhat over the scent. Coconut does show up to a limited degree, chocolate, caramel, bread dough, vanilla again and malt. The texture does not keep up with the appearance, thinner than expected. Not a bad stout but there was so much promise.

Lots going on in this one - I can’t pick out all the individual hops, but it all mixes well and is quite balanced.
