Served from the can in a Mickey Finn's shaker pint glass.

Is this a Zelda II creepypasta character? Anyway, this stuff pours a straight obsidian topped by a finger or so of tan foam. The nose comprises cocoa powder, thoroughly-toasted coconut, roasted malts, and a touch of molasses. The taste brings in more of the same, the coconut less assertive but still definitely involved in the conversation. The body is a lithe medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a fluid feel. Overall, though a touch on the thin side, this is a rather tasty coconut porter, the chocolate melding well with and augmenting its surroundings. Good times.

I had this on Nitro at the brewery, very smooth and tasted like a chocolate shake. I can't wait to have it again.
