Pours dark brown with a moderate head that leaves traces of lacing. Aroma is all coconut and chocolate with a boozy nose. Taste follows, with strong coconut, chocolate, caramel flavors wrapped in a boozy delivery. A nice beer!

750 ml bottle into a tulip glass.
Pours a deep cola brown color with a thick, fluffy caramel head. The head has very good retention. Leaves some cobweb lacing along the glass.
Strong aromas of chocolate; namely dark chocolate and baker's chocolate, with a hint of fudge. There's some mild roasted malt character with a tinge of coconut on the back end of the nose. Some light booze.
The flavor has a massive wave of soy sauce right up front, followed by some roasted malts and bitter chocolate. A little caramel on the finish. Not picking up any coconut. Probably drowned out by the 52,000 take-out packets of soy sauce brewed into the mash.
The feel is full bodied with low carbonation. Chewy and smooth. Lightly boozy.
Overall, I would say this is a rather weak imperial pastry stout. I appreciate that it isn't a cloying mess like many others of the style, but unfortunately the sodium-ridden soy sauce flavor takes this beer in the opposite direction. It's a fine note to have in heavy imperial stouts, but it's just far too strong here. Plus, there's almost no coconut flavor so it doesn't even taste like a Samoa cookie. Not worth your time (or money, good lord).

Ordered from Tavour, chilled and poured into a goblet.
Look: super dark, almost black, light tan small head that doesn’t hang around long, but left a nice ring of foam and some light tan lacing down the glass as we drank.
Smell: super sweet dark roast and bittersweet chocolate up front, some blended and roasted coconut with a little booze and some caramel if you reach
Taste: sweet dark roast, bittersweet (almost like bakers) chocolate, followed by some caramel notes, the coconut is hidden on the palate but present on the end nose. . The caramel is on the back end, with sweet bitter roast that hangs a while. The super trailing end of the taste is a little boozy but that is well hidden with the sweet bitter roast. No real hop presence, but if you reach you can get some on the end.
Feel: full feel, almost syrupy. Light tickle of carbonation. Somewhat drying, sending you back for more.
Overall this is a pretty good pastry style stout. The booze is well huddle, but warming none the less. Doesn’t really taste like the girl out cookie they have a pic of, but all flavors are there, but somewhat muddle, one giving rise to the other on the palate and on the nose.
Cheers everyone!
