Pours a bark mahogany color with a dark tan thin head . Smell is coconut ,whiskey chocolate and vanilla. Tatse follows nose with light coconut /vanilla ,nice barrel presence and roasted cocoa notes. Mouth feel full bodied and sweet but not over the top, enjoyable with nice barrel

Purchased 6/26/21 from brewer, 750ml bottle.

Pour very dark with just a hint of brown. No head at all, no lacing. Modest level of coconut and pistachio aroma complementing nice dark roast, hint of sweetness also.

Taste is a blend of roasted dark malt softened with just enough sweetness (I wouldn't say sweet overall). The coconut and pistachio are there -- definitely there but not overwhelming. A great balance of flavors. Mouthfeel is fairly thick, oily.

Very pleasant BA stout. Everything in its place. Yum!

On tap. Tan head. Black color. Thick. Lots of coconut floaties that laced the glass.

Huge coconut and pistachio flavor. Fudge and chocolate cake. Liquid mounds bar. Vanilla sweetness to go with it. A bit of barrel shows in the finish, but it’s big on the adjuncts. Full bodied. Rich and dessert like.
