This one pours a fairly dark black color, with a small head, and not much lacing.

This smells like sweet and boozy vanilla, milk chocolate, roast, smoke, and oak.

This tastes like it might slightly be over the hill. There’s more vanilla left than the coconut, but everything doesn’t exactly feel in perfect harmony here - somewhat of a clash between booze and sweetness. The roastiness and milk chocolate are nice, though.

This is medium bodied, creamy, and silky. It’s definitely a slow sipper.

I wanted to like this one more. It was still pretty good, but it’s best days are behind it.
