Poured into a pint glass this dark brown, bordering on black, stout produces a puny, fizzly, soda-like head, which leaves absolutely no evidence behind as it disappears.
Light roast on the nose with some yeasty fruitiness and a faint solvent character.
The taste is amped up a notch from what the aroma indicated. Roasted with a definite chocolate note and a background of coffee and light smoke. Not getting much in the way of the vanilla or coconut, but then again this may not be an entirely bad thing, and I've never had a beer with coconut so I'm not even sure I know what flavor profile to look for. The fruitiness from the yeast isn't far behind the roast and neither is that solventy character.
Well, this may be the best one that Battered Boar has released so far. I'm not sure whether they have cleaned up some of the off-flavors I've encountered before or whether the dark malts are just masking them better. Either way, they seem to be much less prominent in the Coconut Cream Stout.
Poor effort.

Beer poured a strong coffee color with a small tan head that disapates quickly. You get coconut and some vanilla like a coconut cream pie. The up front flavor is coconut with dark chocolate in the background but a little watered down. The feel is a little more carbonated than most cream stouts. Over not a bad beer.

Pours a dark brown with khaki colored head and LOTS of it. Took about 5 mins to finish the pour. Smell is off, synthetic like coconut and dare I say brett, but something is off. Took 2 sips and drain poured it. Terrible beer. It was off from pour to drain pour.

A: ½” light tan head. Fell quickly to a ring. Left little lacing along the glass. Near black body.
S: Coconut, vanilla, dark malts.
T: Bitter dark malts: coffee, dark chocolate, and roast – with some vanilla, sweetness, and coconut bringing balance.
M: Medium+ body. Medium-light carbonation. Somewhat smooth. Lightly bitter finish.
O: Alcohol hidden well. Nicely bitter. Nice brew.

22oz bottle from Sprayberry Bottle Shop (Marietta, GA). 7.99. No bottling date. Served in a goblet.
Gushes apon opening. Pours a deep cola brown with three fingers of tan head that fades amazingly fast. A thin halo of bubbles around the edge lingers as the brew continues fizzing throughout but leaves absolutely no lace.
True to the description I detect a rather pleasant toasted coconut and mild vanilla aroma. Also notes of cocoa, dark malt roastiness, faint dark fruit and a strange cola scent. Sweet overall and strangely appealing.
Interesting blend of flavors. Cocoa, toasted coconut, toast, mild roasty malt, subtle-but present vanilla, vague molasses, traces of tart (but far from overly-so) dark fruit and a little brown sugar. No alcohol detected. A pretty nice blend actually.
The body is thin and fizzy like a soda. The carbonation is active but this doesn't feel like beer on the palate at all. Toasted coconut, chocolate and semi-burnt malts linger for a drawn out finish.
I'm quite surprised here. My expectations were tempered by it's tepid reception in the reviews and the shoddy bottle/label presentation (seriously one of the worst labels I've ever seen) but I had to try it based on it's adjunct additions. The aroma and blend of flavors was actually quite nice. The appearance leaves a bit to be desired but ultimately it's the body that is a turn-off. Beer should not feel like a Coke going down. I'd probably revisit this one (possibly regularly) at a $3-5 price point but it doesn't have enough in it's corner to justify a repeat at $8.

From bomber bottles on two occasions. Should have been three but one bomber bottle stored in my cool cellar exploded after several weeks, leaving a widespread sticky mess. The second bottle gushed like crazy, making a mess even though I was cautious and, I thought, prepared. The taste seems to confirm that this is a contaminated batch.
Much better when fresh but still recommend AVOID!

Picked up this beer in Tulsa- tried to drink some locals when I was there. This is okay- you do get some coconut notes in the beer, and I've always been a fan of that flavor in a stout or porter. The problem is that it's a bit thin, both in flavor and body. There is a also slightly sour and dusty notes as well which detract from the coconut notes. There is a hint of toasted coconut on the mid palate which is nice. The aroma has a bit of bubblegum which also is a distraction. Off balance a bit. Keep trying here- when done right this a great combination.
