Look - Pours a dark brownish black color with a small head that quickly disappears.
Smell - Chocolate, malt, and a tiny hint of coconut.
Taste - The flavors really come out in the taste far more than the smell. Chocolate, coconut, pecans, and vanilla - german chocolate cake!
Feel - Something feels a bit off... maybe a slight hoppiness in the aftertaste?
Overall - A very good stout that I enjoyed.

Poured from a small can at fridge temp. Wow - this comes out quite heavy and creamy. The last part of the can appears to be liquid chocolate, and it's settling at the bottom of the glass now. Ends up being a murky dark brown. The nose is as advertised. Pecans, chocolate, coconut, vanilla, and a nice hint of dark berries.
The taste is really nice. Cinnamon, pecans, biscuits, vanilla ice cream, milk chocolate, slightly bitter roasted malts, mild coconut, and cherries. This is a really good replication of German chocolate cake in liquid form. Crazy. If you like the cake, you will love this beer. Doesn't come across as artificial, which is a must when it comes to a pastry stout. By that I mean the flavors are natural, not along the lines of a syrupy concentrate. The ABV on this is completely absent. Doesn't even taste like there is alcohol in it.
The mouthfeel is thick and creamy. The aftertaste is cherries and chocolate. Really fun beer overall.
