440ml can. Jet black colour with average, frothy to creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, tan head. Sweet-ish and roasty, chocolately, dark malty aroma, notes of coffee, cocoa, dark chocolate, wafer overtones; maybe a very weak touch of coconut while warming up. Taste is sweet-ish and roasty, chocolately, dark malty, slightly alcoholic, notes of coffee, dark chocolate, dark cocoa, a touch of wafers, Kahlúa; warming, alcoholic finish. Oily to viscous texture, smooth and soft, minimally cloying palate, medium to fine, mildly prickly carbonation. Rather monotonous and not overly intense, I don't really get any cococnut - so-so.
