A Night To End All Dawns (2016) - Freshly Roasted Organic Coconut
Kane Brewing Company

 

8 ball black with a thin, fuzzy but dark mocha ring.

There's nothing shy about this beauty, coming right out of the gate with all of the advertised goodness: coconut, nougat, marshmallow, woody oak, and deep walnut. It's all kinds of decadent with a gooey, almost German chocolate brownie, but the dark fruit from the base is not prominent here, because the coconut smooths and sweetens that out, replacing it by adding hints of vanilla.

Smooth, thick and full, the carbonation changes from velvetty in the base to silky here, with the slight sting of heat dampened, but still sticky, and semi-dry.

Easily the best beer at Hunahpu's Day 2018--glad I made it my first!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

L: pours thick and black with a small tan head that fades fast with coconut floaters
S: big coconut, bourbon and chocolate.
T: omg! This is freaking amazing! Huge chocolate with a big ole dose of coconut and super smooth and big bourbon. Just damn! This is how to do a Ba coconut stout
F: thick, smooth, no heat, coats my teeth and mouth for long after the drink.

 

 

Simply one of the best stouts I've had. Not surprising as Kane kills it when it comes to dark beers. Pours a jet black with foamy head. Best to let it sit a little and warm. The Coconut is just right - its on the back end and subtle. Def a Stout to sip on, not boozy at all. Only thin keeping this from being a 5 across the board is it could be a little thicker but that's splitting hairs, excellent Stout.
