Human Condition is a rich and delicious Tree House stout brewed with coconut, caramel and chocolate. It is designed to capture the spirit and flavor of samoas cookies. It pours a deep black color in the glass releasing aromas of tasted coconut, caramel, milk chocolate and creamy coffee. The flavor follows suit, with a predominant chocolate coconut note fading into a rich caramel candy finish. We are so pleased to our long running philosophy of presenting richly flavorful, thoughtful, and well crafted beers that neither tire or weigh heavy on the palate. This beer works perfectly as a companion to a cold spring evening spent dreaming of warm sandy beaches. In the breadth of the human condition we hope that this beer can offer a moment of joy amidst the endless ups and downs we encounter as we make our way through this fortunate journey called life.

Picked this up at the brewery, incredibly small release.

A - Poured into my Duvel tulip a nice dark dark brown almost black with a creamy almost two finger mocha head that fades to leave a rather thin blanket with a fluffy halo.

S - Aromas of big sweet milk chocolate, creamy lactose, nice sweet caramel ribbons. There is a little bit of creamy coffee as well. Very aromatic until one goes looking for the coconut. As it warms up it peeks through a little bit.

T - Taste is similar to the nose with big sweet milk chocolate notes, slight flashes of dark chocolate. Creamy lactose, big big caramel notes. The coffee is rather subtle. Coconut is nice, lightly toasted and a little sweet. Very pleasant and balanced.

M - Mouthfeel is nice and creamy, lightly carbonated, good for the style.

O - Overall this was a very nice milk stout from Tree House. Great caramel and chocolate going on though I wish there was more coconut here especially in the nose.

Dark brown used motor oil color, thick appearance and an inch high quickly dissipating brown head.
Aroma reminds me of a mounds candy bar, coconut and chocolate
Taste is milk chocolate and muted coconut. Surprisingly to me with such a prominent aroma of coconut, it’s not that prevalent until the finish
Mouth is smooth and creamy, kind of sticky and finishes a little dry and a lingering coconut chocolate finish
I’m usually not a fan of coconut in my beer but this was Nico balanced for my taste. Smooth and creamy drinking beer.

Pours a deep dark brown-to-black color with a finger of tan head. The nose has notes of coconut and milk chocolate syrup. The flavor also has coconut notes, but the chocolate is more reminiscent of a bittersweet candy bar than a milk chocolate candy bar. The body is surprisingly thin for the style and the mouthfeel lacks the creaminess that is indicative of the style.

From a 16oz can dated 11/11/22 into a tulip. Can message: Coconut mmm

Pours black as night with about a finger and a half of slowly rising dark tan head. Ok retention, great lacing.

Aromas of mainly coffee and dark chocolate on the crack of the can. Warming lets loose some light vanilla and coconut.

Milk chocolate, creamy coffee, light caramel and coconut dominate the flavor and it's awesome. They nailed the description-it tastes like a somoa cookie. Coconut flavor takes over with some warming.

Smooth as silk mouthfeel. Bittersweet aftertaste. Low to medium carbonation. Medium bodied.

Yeah. They nailed this one. Delightful.
