Tap; nitro. Pours opaque black with thick, creamy tan head; decent retention and good lacing. Aroma is roasted malt, figs, plums, milk chocolate, light toasted coconut. Flavor is roast malts forward followed by fresh coconut, dark fruit esters, light earthy hops, and light ash; dry finish. Medium body and low carbonation.

Tap @ Vine St. Thin, tan head, black beer, plenty of lacing. Nose is a very dessert-like caramel coconut cream. Tastes of a caramel coconut latte drink with dusky unsweetened cocoa. Thin mouth feel with very little carbonation, watery. Nitro tap did not help this beer.

Tap at Vine Street - nice all around balance on this one - creamy and medium bodied - medium sweet - mellow but complex notes of vanilla, chocolate, toasted coconut, a light nutty character, even a touch of woodiness - lingering finish of cream and toasted coconut - very enjoyable.

Pour on tap at the vine st pub, dark brownish black with nice tan head. Aroma brought notes of chocolate, coffee, roasted pecans, nice toasted coconut, touch of vanilla, hints of toffee as well. Taste is a nice mix of coconut and sweet caramel bittering quickly with dark cocoa, coffee and roast, finishing fairly dry and bitter. This was very well executed.

UPDATED: FEB 3, 2012 Tap @ Vine Street location. Nitro. Thin creamy looking black appearance with a creamy brown head. Roasty dark chocolate malty aroma with a hint of coconut. Creamy coconut, roasted chocolate malty body. Mouthfeel is creamy and smooth. Chocolate and coconut on the finish.

Draught. Brown and black with medium to dark tan head. Aroma of coco and other chocolate, light coffee and toast. Flavor is sweet with toasty chocolate and again coco powder. Toasty finish and creamy. As beer sits and warms the aroma becomes even boozier in nose with even more coco.

nitro tap. creamy layer of cocoa colored foam on an unfiltered black body. mild roast, mild coconut cream, mild milk and plastic notes in the nose, quite enjoyable aromatics. silky carbonation, somewhat rough but enjoyable roasted malt. lightly lactic and creamy. very mild overall, subtle and quiet. more dry than sweet. more soft than harsh.

Draft [nitrogen-dispensed]: Penetrable ebony. Condensed cap of grayish foam. Pleasant nose of soft chocolate malt, roasted barley, vanilla beans, toasted coconut and burnt cookies. Watery, nitro-induced thinness. Black malt zing collides with well-rounded coconut oil and roasted barley. Delicate char lends some light coarseness while the toasted coconut dots the soft malt core with a smidge of sweetness. Slippery estery contribute a mousselike consistency which complements the lactose character. Nicely balanced. Finishes oily and brightly coconut-accented with unsweetened chocolate trailed by long-lasting hints of cocoa, raisin, nutty malt and roasted barley. Not necessarily flawed, but the nitrogen sure does cripple the malt as well as the body.

Crushed with Jakebra on tap at the brewpub. Coffee nose. Chocolate flavor. Great mouthfeel. Jakebra likened it to Left Hand’s Milk Stout. A decent brew.

Draught. Head is brown, mostly lasting. Body is dark brown to black. Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (chocolate, caramel), with notes of toasted coconut, vanilla. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, soft carbonation. Toasted coconut note is obvious but not particularly strong...pleasant. A little *too* easy-going, maybe, but nice overall.
