Saugatuck "Beam Me Up Stouty" Stout

This was part of a multipack. That's the reason that this has sat in the back of my fridge for far too long. I have not exceeded the "best by' date that is on the bottom, and I actually have several months before that runs out. It doesn't matter, as I'm not going to like this. I don't like coconut. I don't know why someone would choose to put coconut in a beer, and I don't want them to try and explain it. There's no need. Coconut doesn't belong in beer. I'm not sure coconut belongs anywhere.

The beer pours just about jet black, but it seems thinner than most stouts, and a strong light might be able to make its way through the center. The head that I managed to get in the picture didn't stay around for long, and it didn't leave anything in its wake. There are no bubbles clinging to the sides of the glass, and there sure as heck isn't going to be any lacing. The aroma is, unsurprisingly, coconut. I don't like coconut. I may have said that in the previous paragraph.

Yes, it taste like coconut. It's not good, and I don't like it. There is some coffee, a little bit of chocolate, and earth, but I still don't like it. I'm not going to be drinking anymore, and I sure as heck am not going to try and gulp this.

Bottom Line: Caveat emptor
