Salad be a good coconut smell someone of a bitter taste but pretty mild overall very drinkable definitely recommend the 6 ounce pour if you go out given the ABV

L: Pitch black with almost no head.
S: Rum and vanilla.
T: Touch of coconut, but mostly roasted flavours, vanilla and warming rum.
F: Thick and chewy, some heat from the alcohol.
O: A very pleasant beer that showcases that bourbon isn't the only barrel for a stout.

Pours black, little bit of light brown foam. Smell of high quality rum, tobacco, coconut. Thick, smooth, and fairly sharp boozy. Taste is rum forward, the good way. Sweet, herbal, coconut and plenty of licorice. Not as paradisial as I was expecting.

2019 bottle to snifter, Great flavor - vanilla, coconut and coffee - can definitely get a hint of that rum but not in a bad way. Top notch for sure!

12 October 2020 - Beer #195 - BA Top 250 Alert!
Acquired via trade
Appearance: 5 - completely black. No head, but tremendous lacing.
Nose: 4 - all barrel, basically no adjuncts.
Taste: 5 - yeah, not quite all barrel, but it dominates. The coconut and vanilla are there, but complementary.
Mouth: 5 - thick and smooth. Sticks around for a long while. I'll need to brush extra tonight.
Overall: 5 - better than the bourbon version. Truly world class.
Cheers!

Prairie Pirate Paradise Imperial Stout, 13% ABV. Pours black with a ring of brown bubbles, typical for a Prairie stout. Nose is rum, coconut, and chocolate. Taste follows, plus coffee, with moderate bitterness. Decent mouthfeel, if slightly under-carbonated, overall world-class.

A thing of beauty.
One of those beer that I could smell all day. It's so complex and gourmet on the nose.
Pitch black on the eye,
Cocoa, rum, vanilla on the nose, very powerful and complex.
A lot on the vanilla in taste, a bit roasted. Very balanced.
The mouthfeel is velvety.
Glad I shared this with some good friends but sad that I had only the one.
