Coconut Corruption
Wooden Cask Brewing Company

From the 12 oz can in a snifter. This solid little stout pours a dark
blackish brown with a moderate had of fizzling khaki foam that subsides to a
faint ring. Nose of bourbon, oak, coconut, dark cocoa, and vanilla. Flavors
lightly surpass the nose with bourbon, oak, vanilla, nutty malts, and toasted
coconut dashed with char. Mouth feel is full, smooth, coating, warming, a
touch thin considering the ABV, and finishing moderately dry.

Overall, I am a HUGE fan of this brewery, but this one while very good
is small tweaks away from being perfection. Solid but needs a
hint more depth and mouth feel.

Cheers

Generally based in a traditional Irish stout style but laid down in bourbon barrels with toasted coconut and we suddenly have a unique but drinkable dark ale.

Wooden Cask brewers take their Corruption stout and layer it with the coconut flavors to appease the senses with coffee, vanilla, tropical nuttiness, chocolate and bourbon spice. The very dark but slightly bleached black appearance caps off with a dainty cask-like froth before the firs sip leads in with caramel, honey, chocolate, toffee and sorghum. Trending more coffee-like, the middle palate carries a charred toast and roasted nuttiness with a woodsy and oaken backdrop. The aura of coconut leads to a macadamia-like softness and a cola nut sweetness in a full bodied, warming and whisky-like finish.

Strong, sweet and robust from start to finish, the stout is somewhat relaxed and easy drinking despite its imperial status and barrel aging.
