Who's been drinking this

It tastes a little off to me. It tastes flavored. It seems like it's a nice brown ale base, but the flavoring it's a just offputting to me.

I'd be heart-broken to learn that this beer uses artificial flavors and added ingredients to achieve its taste--they say on the label they use real toasted coconut, so, I'll go with that for now. Smells: coconut and brown beer. Tastes: coconut isn't overdone and pairs well with the brown ale. Slight syrup ending but otherwise a reliable beer with no reservations.

I'm a sucker for coconut, and it's nice, toasty and not overdone in this beer, elevating what would otherwise be a thin, dry brown ale. Easy go-to for me -- wish it was available all year!

Each time I drink it I want more coconut flavor in it, or at least more coconut sheen left behind. Otherwise it's better drunk as a brown ale.
