Imperial pastry stout loaded with tons of Samoa donuts and conditioned on tons of caramel, coconut, and cacao nibs to replicate that delicious cookie and Neil’s donut flavor!

L - oh boy, I've heard... things... about this beer. Let's get into it. Cracked the can and almost zero hiss. Either means this beer is flat, or has so much sugar and syrup that it's damping any carbonation. Pours like molasses. Dark, turbid brown water with a burnt, mocha head that fizzes like cola. You can literally watch and hear the head dissipate. Leaves almost no bubbles behind. Easy beer to boss pour, if that's your thing.
S - soft caramel and coconut shavings up front. Literally smells like samoa cookies. Good start! Milk sugar, graham crackers, banana s'mores, and malted milkballs.
T - vanilla-laced brown sugar cookies and freshly shaved 'nuts. Straight from the tropics with a heaping helping of chocolate and caramel. Cinnamon, marzipan, and malted milk powder. Milk and cereal, even!
F - fortunately not flat or fizzy like it looked and sounded like. Surprisingly light feel for a stout of this caliber, likely misdirection from the playful coconut. Still full-feeling and creamy like it should be.
O - Girl Scout Samoas. Nails it. Not as sweet as I was expecting, but I think that's a delicate execution of coconut without going overboard in the sugary gross territory. Heavy on the almond and caramel. This is nostalgic for sure.
