Pitch black in the glass with a dense, mocha-colored head, Stacks of Coconut opens with intense aromas of toasted coconut, dark chocolate, and vanilla. The palate is rich and velvety, featuring layers of coconut cream, fudgy brownie, and subtle caramelized sugar. The coconut character is pronounced yet balanced, supported by a robust malt backbone and restrained bitterness. The finish is long, smooth, and dessert-like, with lingering notes of chocolate and toasted coconut.
