Sometimes a cask is so good, we have to make it into a full batch of beer. This combination of dry, citrusy, tropical west coast dark ale infused with toasted coconut and a pinch of pure salt pushes the boundaries of beer. It incorporates sweet and savory influences, starts full bodied but ends crisp. A beer thats a journey in a glass or a great companion to Caribbean or South East Asian Cuisine.

On tap at the LA Beer Week Kickoff Festival held at Exposition Park in Los Angeles, CA.
Pours an opaque black with a foamy dark khaki head that settles to a partial film on top of the beer. Small dots of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of dark roasted malt, cocoa powder, citrus zest, and slight coconut aromas. Taste is much the same with cocoa powder, coconut, citrus zest, and salt flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of roast and hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp and medium bodied mouthfeel. Overall, this is a good beer with coconut and salt qualities that come through better in the taste to me.
Serving type: on tap.
