Looks like dark cola with burnt red and brown edges, and a tan head dying to a thin film.
Smell is coconut with something odd in the background. I find myself going back over it again and again. Is it black bean? Green bean. Soy bean? Oh, there it is, black olives! Really there is an odd aroma of black olives in the background, and it only gets stronger when you notice it and it warms up.
Taste is coffee, rum, and an odd vegetal flavor. The coconut is present, but is as though it is freshly shredded, and not toasted, so it gets a little overpowered at times.
Another dark brew with a bit of a thin, flat feel, whereas most of their stuff is crazy thick and fluffy.
