Tap at peppercorns
Darker colored thick creamy 1 finger head almost pitch black beer. Nice layered lacing.

Nose oh damn! Pure almond joy. Lots of dark chocolate and milk chocolate, lots of toasty coconut, little coffee ice cream and chocolate milk shake, caramel, light buttery vanilla and almost oak like presence probably from the coconut.

Taste starts luscious and creamy with lots more toasted coconut. Toasted and fresh shredded coconut, with again a light buttery coconut oil flavor. Then chocolate galore. Some dark and bakers but mostly creamy milk chocolate and cocoa butter, some vanilla again as well as coffee ice cream. Light oatmeal taste and feel to a hint of oatmeal cookie. Touch of caramel and toasty dough malt, and a hint nutty.Light cinnamon i think or that might be my imagination running away with me. A light bitterness on the finish with creamy silky feel, more chocolate and coconut galore lingering, a touch of booze toward the end as i swirl the beer around my mouth for what seems like ages.

Mouth is fuller bodied rich creamy silky smooth and sexy satin decent carb.

Overall deliiicious! I wish i could freeze it in the winter and skate on it, then melt it in the spring and drink it again. Also bathe in it and make clothes from it. I don't think it gave me as much of a hard-on as Rudzud, but I really enjoyed this beer. I really hope they bottle it.

Canned on 11/10/2022. Pours a nice black color that's impenetrable by light with a 1/2 inch finely bubbled head Aroma is fairly non-descript but that could just be my nose. Taste is roasty, with notes of chocolate and coconut as you would expect, but they don't overwhelm and the stout shines through with a rich maltiness. Another excellent beer from Wormtown - they've been killing it now for a while, probably the best local brewery around me. This one is definitely worth a try.

An outstanding chocolate coconut stout. It's full flavored with a relatively low ABV; the coconut and chocolate are present, but not overwhelming. Unlike many other flavored stouts where the flavors completely overwhelm the taste of the beer, this is supremely well balanced and still tastes like a stout, with plenty of roasted malt and a touch of hop. Just outstanding.

A little thin for an oatmeal stout.
