8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square. Sure hope that this one isn't actually 'retired', for obvious reasons.
This beer appears a clear, dark, amber-highlighted brown colour, with one finger of puffy, finely foamy, and mildly bubbly beige head, which leaves some rising tidal flood lace around the glass as things evenly subside.
It smells of semi-sweet, bready and doughy caramel malt, bittersweet cocoa powder, a muddled black stone fruitiness, sugary coconut milk, and some plain earthy, musty, and floral hops. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, a bit of sour milkiness, faint cafe-au-lait, subtle chocolate-coated coconut, some plum and tart cherry fruitiness, and more earthy, leafy, and floral noble hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite active in its swirling and twirling frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a swell time here. It finishes off-dry, the caramel, cocoa, and milky coconut presiding.
Overall - this is an agreeable enough version of the style, with the South Seas character easily noticeable. Maybe a tad too sour (whether intended or not) for me to want another, but worthy of sampling all the same.

Nice hint of coconut without too much; pretty balanced and mild tasting
