Appearance: Pours pitch black and flat; leggy
Smell: Rich dark chocolate and coconut with hints of hazelnut and coffee; gentle wafts of Bourbon
Taste: Rich chocolate forward with a clash between the coffee and the coconut; through the middle, the Bourbon flavors join and dominate the finish; a bit of a Bourbon burn in the aftertaste
Mouthfeel: Full bodied and creamy; no carbonation
Overall: While I really enjoyed the base beer, this one is meaningfully different and I didn't particularly care for what the coffee and coconut brought; the fill was a little low so I wonder if that had something to do with it
