Sample, thanks fonefan! Black, small brown head. Huge aroma of coconut and chocolate. Sweet with full body and rounded, silky mouthfeel. Coconut, dark chocolate and toffee. A great base beer. Pity about the coconut hiding all details. Way off balance.

Getting the zesty citrusy Motueka up front with lots of lime and lemon in play, some Nelson gooseberry coming in, tropical layers of papaya and passionfruit, some hop spice bite, sitting upon a sweet malty backbone, drying bitter hoppy finish. Good stuff.
