Thanks to JLindros for sharing this.

A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a nice dark brown almost black with a thin mocha head that fades to leave light wisps and a thin halo.

S - Big aromas of coconut flakes, little bit of chocolate syrup, flashes of lactose. Finish is much more subtle on the coconut. Little flash of metallic as well.

T - Taste is similar to the nose with decent amount of bitter chocolate. The coconut is rather sweet and muted. Vanilla notes come across as artificial. Finish is almost syrupy cloy.

M - Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, with an almost fizzy finish that's also syrupy.

O - Overall this was a very disappointing stout. The coconut and vanilla come across as artificial.

Serving Type: bottle

Light fizzy head fades instantly, pitch black thick beer

Nose thick chocolate, candy syrup, big marshmallow and milky lactose, prune raisin dark fruits, coconut comes in up front and disappears quickly, little roast, mild vanilla

Taste very adjunct flavoured, almost fake like, tons of fake vanilla like, big lactose milk sugar, little chocolate bitter earthy cocoa like, mild roast, coconut is muted, bitter roast as well with mild spicy hops, big sticky sweet finish more lactose and unfermentables

Mouth is med to fuller bod, light carb and weird sticky unfermentables, no alcohol presence

Overall meh, just wasn't put together well

A little too much lactose.

 

 

 

Pours a dens black color with a tan head and lacing. First smell coconut and vanilla , roasted malts and chocolate follow. Taste was very good nice pleasant coconut with milk chocolate then add some vanilla drizzle and roasted malts. A creamy and sweet balanced stout a pleasure to sip and sip.

 

I don’t know, but I’m going to assume this is the base beer to the BA Doggie beers & as such, is worthy of enormous respect. 22 oz. bottle split with my wife.

Black, quiet, unassuming. Smells like hugging a coconut with your nose, with a smattering of malt sweetness. Not bad.

Coconut Jones Dog is tastier than your average dog. It’s exquisitely balanced – coconut, bitter chocolate, malty backing, vanilla, & lactose in equal measures of 40% each. Sticky, thick, & I can’t stop drinking it. One of the few beers that I’m going to beat my wife to the bottom of the glass.

Beautiful. Excellent. And if this is indeed the base beer to the barrel aged Dog series, it’s no wonder they’re so good.

 

 

 

Poured from 22oz bottle into glass. No bottling date information found, but the label does have a 2018 dated copyright.
Black colored body, with just the tiniest of brown edge highlights when presented to light. Long lasting dark tan creamy head. Sheets and webs of lacing.
Aroma is milk chocolate malt, coconut, vanilla, and a whiff of alcohol.
Taste is sweet with lactose, flavors of milk chocolate, natural coconut, and a little vanilla. Has sort of a vinous hint at the end of the flavor profile. No real bitterness.
Full mouth feel, creamy, with a little syrup. Very sweet on the teeth.
Presents itself as a dessert beer, with a sweet, sugary taste profile, that allows the chocolate, coconut, and vanilla to assist in the overall taste. Very filling.
