Note that this beer also definitely has coffee in it. The bartender in the brewpub was not sure and unable to confirm it, but it's clear from the nose and flavor profile. (It was also listed on the menu amidst six other Answer coffee stouts.) That said, underneath the coffee, it really nails the Mounds candy bar concept, down to the particular dark chocolate notes and the sweetened coconut.

The beer pours a nice head that dissipates quickly. The beer has a very nice look to it. A dark chocolate black with a brownish hue.
The smell is fantastic. A good sharp light powdered vanilla and roast note. Light Cinnamonn .ixing well with the tiramasu. Light cocoa.
Taste is yeah bro. A much stronger cocoa and sharp roast note with a vanilla that mixez well with the cinnamon.
Feel is very good heavy body. Smooth with a light tingling and a hint of creaminess.
Overall, very good. Go for it and love it.

L: Had this beer on-tap at The Answer Brewpub, poured into a snifter glass. Had a dark brown / black color and a thick texture. There was a thin, tan-colored head that quickly dissipated. Average lacing.
S: A very enticing aroma of coconut, chocolate, malt, and hops.
T: Tasted of a moderate amount of malt, a whole bunch of chocolate, a light hops presence (mostly in the finish), lots of coconut, and a tinge of coffee. An extremely big, complex, and likable flavor that really does taste like a Mounds bar. Gets better as it goes along.
F: A good amount of carbonation with a super smooth finish. Full-bodied.
O: The Answer has a gift for stouts and this is a good example of that. Well made and drinkable.
