The fact that this beer remains in the top 100 has to be a joke. There is so little coconut and so little barrel character to this, it simply boggles my mind that other people have rated it this high

2019 vintage, appearance is dark - near black, 2-3 finger head that quickly dissipates. Roasted notes galore but very minimal coconut, considering most coconut beers I've had this is about as light as it gets. Light barrel notes could use a lot more barrel or vanillin to balance the amount of roast in this beer. Full bodied but just not really all that impressive. I have a hard time believing this remains a top 100 beer, extremely disappointed.

BA Top 250 - #247
2019 Vintage thanks to IAMCMBRYANT
L: Jet black, a decent amount of quickly dissappaiting tan head
S: Roast, not much coconut to speak off, not impressive.
T: Tastes like a lightly barreled standard stout, I get almost not coconut until it is room temp, and even then it was barely there
F: Decent mouth feel, heavy on the tongue
O: Supremely disappointed in this beer, I know that the 15' bottled vintage and 16' draft versions are what put this in to the Top 250, and there was supposedly a recipe change, but BA recognizes this as the same beer and as such it is a shell of what old reviews say.

poured into a Teku glass via 750ml bottle
jet black in color, no head
smell is very strong coconut, light cocoa and vanilla with scant traces of barrel presence
taste follows the smell..coconut and vanilla..creamy and sweet but not overly so. Some of the barrel appears on the backend with some fudgy cocoa. everything is blended nicely
there is a bit of the alcohol burn but not enough to distract from the flavor of the beer
body is thick and full..nice mouthfeel
a wonderful stout that Brothers should produce more of..all coconut stout fans need to try this one!
