* this was "batch #1" served at Duckworth's Park Rd, Jan 2012
A - ebony with light tan, thin, sticky head
S - roasted malt, coconut, sugarcane
T - roasty with slight bitter along with vanilla sweetness followed but mild rum, slightest booze with a sweet chocolate, coffee finish
M - cask gives it a creamy, consistent texture; low, smooth carbonation; leaves a pretty complex linger of roast, rum and faint milk chocolate
D - very good usage of the rum vanilla beans; all the flavors were subtle and able to be tasted separately; as with the regular coco loco I wish there were more coconut but that is just me; very nice execution overall and i hope to see more treatments from them like this in the near future
