Coconut Vibes
Shared Brewing

 

 

 

While I wanted more coconut up front, this was an amazingly complex beer everywhere else; phenomenal mouthfeel, incredible flavors.

Pours black with a still look. It has oily legs as you swirl the glass. Aroma is coconut water and soy sauce. Toasted coconut, chocolate, caramel, and roasty and toasty malts all come thru, leaning lightly towards 'sweet'. Flavor profile is the same, big coconut water mixed in with hearty toasty and roasty malts. Chocolate comes on at the finish. Soy sauce permeates the middle, distracting a touch from the rest of the profile. Mouth feel is thick, creamy, and decadent. Overall, big and bold, with a clear and intentional focus on coconut, as the label would suggest. It's a soothing pillow of coconut.

Poured from a 750mL bottle. Reviewed from notes.

 

 

750ml bottle. Poured out an opaque, jet-black color with a small, light brown head of foam. It left sudsy trails of lace on the glass. It smelled strongly of coconut, chocolate, molasses, toffee and caramel. Lots of chocolate and coconut taste. This beer became sweeter and sweeter as I drank it. A little cloying.

 

2021 release - Drank on 12/25/21.
Tastes like a chocolate fudge mounds bar. Incredible thickness and mouthful, few brewers seem to achieve. Sweet, but so well balanced without the coconut overpowering. The absolute best non-ba stout I’ve had to date

750ml bottle at share. Inky black pour, ring of beige head. Aroma is coconut, chocolate, roasty, nutty. Taste pronounces the almonds a bit more, with plenty of lush coconut and chocolate flavors to nail the Almond Joy vibe. Superb!

 

 

 

 

This is by far the thickest stout I have ever had, as crazy as that may sound. It’s like darn motor oil! It’s is very tasty, smells great and is well worth being a top 250!

 

 

Most recent batch poured into a tulip. Motor oil viscosity. Completely opaque. Coats the glass. Tons of dark chocolate and toasted coconut. On the sweeter side but really phenomenal. Super mouth coating. Very thick. Low carb. Overall, this was outstanding. One of the best non ba coconut stouts I’ve ever had.
