Paid $7.99 at total wines outside Marietta, OH for a 12 oz bottle. Stone never ever disapoints and this is no exception. For the style, this is extreme and excellent, the arome alone hit the mark on the Kona coffee and coconut. The higher ABV is definitely noticeable on the mouthfeel and worth picking up on a cold night.

Pours black with two fingers of caramel foam. Head retention is good. Aroma is coconut, macaroons, roasty coffee and macadamia nuts. It smells like cookies and coffee. Flavor profile is macadamia nuts, toasty coconut, macaroons and roasty coffee. Roasty and toasty malts form the base. Mouth feel is medium-thick with a velvety, lightly-grainy texture. Overall, fallen off a bit, but it's still a plate of cookies with a mug of coffee.
Served in a 15.5oz Speigalau tulip from a 12oz bottle.

Pours black, darker than most porters, this is stout territory appearance wise. Immense amount of coffee in the nose to it.
Almost too much coffee (have I said that before?) it covers up all the other stuff. The coconut, the macadamia nuts (expensivo!). Its good, its very good, but a little out of balance. Coffee beers are all over the place, but the Macadamia nut and coconut was the unique part, but they are a little bit obscured here.

Bottle share thanks to Toby. Dark and rich, elements of coconut, chocolate, vanilla. Very easy drinker. All of the elements play very well together for a well rounded beer.
