500ml (thx, Brian!) @ Sales Force. Appearance: almost black with a beige head. Aroma: coconut with kinda wood glue notes, a bit earthy. Taste: Structures-like coconut (overtoasted probably?), harsh vanilla beans, moderately inky and roasty. Overall: lacks balance quite significantly IMHO.

Dark brown. No head. The aroma is a lot of coconut, and that's kind of what's jumping out. Body is definitely thin, especially for the style. There's still lots of coconut, which is done well. It almost makes you not notice the thinness. I can assure you this sort of beer I do not wish to pint, so may as well make it burly as fuck. There is a gap between expectation and reality here.

Poured from 473mL bottle. Very dark brown with minimal light beige head. Vanilla, toasty, feint coconut, a bit thin and feintly kind of chemically (cross between being phenolic and wood gluey). Not appreciating it much at 11.5%.
