BC: Who came up with this beer’s recipe?
This beer was a collaborative effort with the brewery management team.

BC: What’s your favorite aspect of this beer (flavor, aroma, etc.)?
That it tastes like toasted coconut goodness without being overly sweet and doesn’t taste like suntan lotion. 

BC: Where does this beer’s name come from?
Just like most beers at pFriem, we just call them what they are.

BC: Is this your “desert island beer?”
Although this beer is big and dark, it would drink well on a tropical island, but it is not my desert island beer. 

BC: Can you describe this beer in 10 words or less?
Cozy aromas of dark chocolate, toasted coconut, toffee, macaroons & hazelnut. 

BC: Do you know a story – or have a personal story – that revolves around this beer?
It's just super fun to see how many different walks of life and palates get excited about this beer. 

BC: What's a good food pairing for this beer?
Although this beer pairs very well with many chocolate-based desserts, it holds its own as a tasty after-meal dessert by itself.
