Evil Twin Brewing Brooklyn, New York

Draught at Trillium Roslindale, 3/15/18.
Inky, opaque ebony. Tan head fizzles out instantly.
Heavy coconut, alcohol, xmas, and strong pistachio in the nose. Really frustrating to drink Evil Twin beers because there are good brewing fundamentals at work but it's just so much overdone, novel, adjunct.
In mouth it's lightly syrupy and the adjuncts are fine, for the most part, if you just accept that's all there is here. But coconut and pina colada dominate. Not sugary nor any hot booze, at least. Some earthy nutshell. Idk. It's fine. Good acidity and sweet fudge w out the massive sugar.
