Decoherence
Cigar City Brewing

Nicely balanced, with all flavors (coffee, coconut, bourbon, & brandy) present but none overpowering the other. Mouthfeel is perhaps a bit light, but the nose and taste are terrific.

 

Popped a bottle of this at Jesse's wedding 2017. Pours black. Brown head, 1/4". Aroma drops all kinds of coconut, bourbon and coffee all over the place, just turn after turn of these.

Chocolate malt, bourbon, coffee and coconut continue to power through, delicious roasted malt tempering it all. Really finds the sweet spot if you will, in that it isn't sweet, it truly is balanced, and not in a people just say that about a triple ipa because that sounds good, I mean the roastiness, the bourbon, the chocolate, the coconut, vanilla it all comes out to really provide a beer being pushed and pulled just the right amount.

They pair an amazingly thick ass imperial stout base and then just blast it through both brandy and bourbon, the bourbon dominates barrel wise, but the brandy seems to lend to some nice warm smoothness counter balancing it all.

Hate to say it, but this is a world class stout and right up there with double barrel hunahpu. Phenomenal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

older bottle, coconut was totally gone

 

Poured from a 750mL bottle into a taster.

Aromas are sweet, caramel, dark fruits, a little cardboard, milk chocolate. On the tongue is sweet vanilla-bourbon, caramel, not much coconut, toffee, finishes roasty . Nice thick body with low carbonation.

Wish I got more coconut here. Nice body and good flavor, but was expecting less sweetness and more coconut.

Nice beer. Pours very dark....minimal mocha head. Subtle coconut in the aroma. Taste is similar...subtle coconut. Really expected and wanted more. Feel is average....not too thick, not too thin. Overall, good beer.
