Dark brown, tannish foamy edges. Scents are strong for coconut, chocolate, and coffee. Taste follows, same flavors, but not as strong. Sweet. Lighter to medium bodied. Clean, mild mouth watering finish, subtle booziness. Good, will see how it is as it warms.

Poured dark brown with ruby edges at 54.9°; tight tan head with a few rocks; poor cap retention; thin ring; small islands with some soapy lace; thin legs at best on swirl. Strong chocolate nose; some booze on exhale. Taste follows nose; very little coconut as beer warmed; no bourbon, no vanilla; no coffee; certainly no cherry. Medium body; moderate minus carbonation; minimal warmth from ABV. Delicious, semi sweet chocolate cake, but not quite German chocolate cake.
