The flavour is a downer however, the fruity and citrus notes found in the aroma are very weak on the tongue with the grassy notes dominating the flavour. A decent beer nonetheless.

There is definitely coffee in the aroma. Along with hints of citrus, herbal hops, and biscuit malt. The mouthfeel is medium to medium-full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is a battle between the coffee notes and the citrus notes, and they aren’t playing very well off of one another. In the background the biscuit malt is going about its’ business.

There is significant lacing for a beer that is 7 months from canning. The aroma is cereal grains, citrusy hops, some pine notes as well. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation.

The aroma is roasted malt, coffee, and vanilla with nary a whiff of coconut to be found. The mouthfeel is creamy, full bodied, and well carbonated. The flavour is sweeter than the aroma would indicate with notes of chocolate, molasses, and coconut balancing out the roasted malt and coffee flavours. Not a bad beer in the end.
