Taster. Smell does have a bit of bourbon barrel, and catching a bit of coconut. Taste is sweet, a bit of heavy mouthfeel. Find I like coconut in beer better than by itself. And yes, some cocoa as well.
Taste is kind of different based on it's ingredients, unusual but interesting.

12 oz. can. Pour is quite pinkish, though a bit muddy. Some blueberry in the nose, though I'm getting more lemon, too.
As I figured, the taste is pretty nice. The blueberry is well settled. And yes, some citrus as well. Very slight tartness figures nicely. Excellent summer beer.

Draft pour in a plastic cup at Rotary GroveFest. The foamy head was peeking out above the cup enough that I was afraid the wind was going to blow it off. Very nice standard New England hop smell of resin and tropical fruit. The taste is a blast of hot bitterness, along with a side of citrus zest. Cannot tell how hazy it is in the opaque plastic cup, but the malts are nice and hit like a light lager, except that the mouthfeel is quite a bit thicker. For a hoppy IPA, it's a great warm weather beer.
