Shellback Coconut Stout
The Bold Mariner Brewing Company

Nice light American Stout!!! Poured from a 16 oz. can into a pint glass, this beer features a dense brown color, a medium size foamy, khaki head that fades to a small head. That small head has excellent retention and there is some spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma and taste feature a strong bready and toasted malt presence and plenty of coconut that adds more flavor and sweetness. Mouthfeel is light and smooth, like a milk stout. Goes down easily without being too thin or watery. In all, a very pleasant brew, nothing outstanding but well worth a try!!!

 

Poured a black body with one finger tan head that left a little bit of lace. Aroma is mild roasted malts and also there is a sweet lactic presence thanks to the coconut addition. Light bodied stout that is milky smooth, there is a minor sweetness that balances with roasted malt tastes. Not a bad beer but unfortunately not a great beer; this is a rather bland, pedestrian stout.
