This is another one of Martin House's special two beer limited release boxes. Ryan buys all of these because they are perfect for our duos, like this one. Rating this while we watch a good LSU versus Florida State ball game. Geaux Tigers! So many coconut beers go cheap and use the squeeze bottle stuff. The can says "shredded coconut" with vanilla beans and then aged 3 months in rum barrels. Oh, the expectations!! Small head, disappeared quickly. Dark brown color. Aroma, wow! So much coconut. Again, so much coconut. Nice bit of rum mixed in. First sip, uh-oh! This beer is for real. No artificial coconut here. This is pure coconut, deep dark milk chocolate and the rum adds the perfect alcohol booziness. Even the vanilla bean sits in the background complementing the overall experience. Velvet soft and lasting finish. If you've ever had a candy bar called Mounds Bar then you have a good idea of what this tastes like except for the added rum. From the moment this entered my mouth, I was in love. Pure heaven. Hope they decide to brew this again.
