From day 3 of the 2017 beer advent calendar.
Look: nice and thick, what I look for in a stout
Smell: the coconut overpowers the olfactory. Not very complex
Taste: again, the coconut is not subtle and overpowers the senses. This is unfortunate as the underlying stout might have been pretty good.
Feel: mouthfeel and texture was fine.
Overall: Too much coconut. This is not a beer I would have chosen to purchase. It came in the advent calendar. I think it might work well if the coconut was in a much lower proportion. Kudos for trying though, however I fear the advent calendar is becoming a way to dump unsuccessful beer.

From day 3 of the 2017 beer advent calendar.
Inky black, and syrupy thick. The roasted brown head went away quickly.
Coconut on the nose, and more on the palate to go along with chocolate and coffee notes.
Far too sweet and cloying. This is an aftertaste that you can measure in minutes, rather than moments. Seriously; at least 5 minutes later I could still taste it.

12oz bottle, day 3 of the 2017 Craft BeerAdvent Calendar. Gotta love the punny name here, even if the last coconut-flavoured brew I had was kind of weird.
This beer pours a rather solid black abyss, with the barest of basal amber edges, and two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and yet creamy brown head, which leaves a bit of low-lying berm lace around the glass as it lazily abates.
It smells of Bounty chocolate bars, further fleshy coconut meat, vanilla-laced brown sugar, a touch of cafe-au-lait, and very, very subtle earthy, leafy, and musty floral noble hop bitters. The taste is semi-sweet, bready and doughy caramel malt, muddled copra notes, bittersweet hot cocoa powder, some indistinct berry-forward fruitiness, expired milk, and more well understated earthy, herbal, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its barely-functional frothiness, the body a decent medium-heavy weight, and generally smooth, with a nice fruity creaminess arriving shortly beyond takeoff here. It finishes off-dry, the coconut, caramel, chocolate, and alcohol all having a swell and warming after party.
Overall - yeah, this is indeed a simple offering, one that seems to depend a little too much on artificial flavourings, but like many other things that we consume every day of the year, it just tastes good. However, one serving of this is definitely enough for this Canuckian beer fan.
