A - Pours pitch black with a very thin tan head. Light amount of spotty lacing.

S - Aroma is dark chocolate, coconut and caramel.

T - The taste is dark chocolate, caramel, black coffee, coconut, vanilla, roasted malts, oak and a nice alcohol warmth in the finish.

M - Full body with medium carbonation. Syrupy mouthfeel with a slick tingly finish.

O - Solid.

3.92/5  rDev -6.9%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Appearance - The beer was deep black with a dark tan head.

Smell - There were notes of sweet dark chocolate in the nose with barrel notes.

Mouthfeel - Chocolate was strong in the nose with char notes than could have been cookie. I detected pineapple instead of coconut. Did the lactose in this bottle start to turn? It wasn’t undrinkable, it just wasn’t a Samoan.

Mouthfeel - The body was thick, coating the tongue and back of the throat.

Overall - A rare miss from Transient.
