500 ml bottle into a snifter. A 2023 release, had 11/11/23.

Pours near black and opaque, oily looking, with a half inch foamy head and some light oily, foamy cling. Aromas of coconut, chocolate, bourbon, oak, vanilla, cocoa. Flavors of coconut, bourbon, vanilla, chocolate, cocoa, malt, light oak. Smooth, a little creamy, a very good full body, appropriately carbonated.

This is excellent. The delicious coconut is most prominent, with a good barrel presence and other expressive aromas and flavors. Would purchase again.

Batch 003 (2023) ABV 12.7 %. Poured at 56°. Tight dark reddish brown head with rocks; poor cap retention leaves thin ring that quickly disappeared too; small dots of lace and tiny flecks of coconut on agitation; no legs on swirl; pruney black body with ruby edges. Nose is coconut, chocolate and bourbon, in that order; some heat n retro nasal. Entry is sweet bourbon followed by bittersweet dark chocolate a toasted coconut; oaky vanilla as beer warmed; sweetened coconut milk ending with swirls of chocolate and bourbon. Full minus body; viscous minus feel; boozy bite on tip of tongue; light carbonation; warmth in mouth from 12.7% abv; dry barrel finish. Overall an outstanding BBA coconut Imperial Stout; drinks like a coconut macaroon dipped in dark chocolate and soaked in bourbon; base, barrel and adjuncts meld seamlessly; a little on the sweet side, but the oaky barrel notes and cacao nibs keep the whole from going over the edge into cloying.

Even though there seems to be fluidity in the top 250, this will be my 75th on the list. Definitely see why it is on the list. Pours dark, minimal head and lacing. Strong scents of bourbon, coconut, and chocolate. This follows to the taste, as it’s very sweet and boozy, but the flavors blend well. Big bodied, just a hint of oiliness, not thick or syrupy, but assertive alcohol burn. Really tasty.

A - Pours a motor oil black with a thin tan head. Oily lacing.

S - Aroma is coconut, vanilla, dark chocolate and bourbon.

T - The taste is dark chocolate, coconut, vanilla, coffee and a nice amount of bourbon barrel.

M - Full body with medium carbonation. Chewy mouthfeel with a slick dry finish.

O - Really well done. Coconut is there, but doesn’t overpower the flavor. Good amount of barrel throughout.

2018 version poured from a 16.9 oz bottle into a snifter. I thought this would be sweeter but I think it is quite good with the cacao standing out more than the coconut. Some booze heat to back it up.

Rating this from coming across 4 coconut beers - Prairie pirate weekend is number one so far. This is batch 003.
L: Poured from a 500ml bottle into a snifter - jet black pour with 1 fingers length of dark malty foam risen to the surface.
S: Big fudgy chocolatey aromas of coconut, cacao, vanilla, hazelnut, even getting some lactose in this. Can sense it's very sweet.
T: Just as the aroma tells! Brownie/milk chocolate, cacao, coconut hits first followed by some vanilla in the middle and a hazelnut ending. I LOVE this one. This is my favorite bottle logic barrel aged to this day!
F: Heavy, oily thick bodied, easy to sip. Hides ABV very so well.
O: This is hard to compare with prairie pirates weekend but man this takes the top spot. My new all time favorite coconut chocolate stout of all time. The reason is because the milk chocolate was there, cacao was there, coconut was there followed by the complexity and thickness of the beer. Two separate beers but I'd be very curious to see if they aged this in rum barrels. This might change the whole stout game itself if that were to be the case.

2023 Batch! Sweet milk chocolate, creamy coconut, and hint of vanilla bourbon barrel nose on this one! Taste follows with a moist, chocolate fudge brownie with some coconut-vanilla drizzle on it finish! Ha! Yum! The barrel is subtle here, but it comes out more as it warms...a little more chocolate malty roastiness peeks out as well. This is a delicious coconut stout!
