Notes

Yup...tastes like coconut cake.

No clarifiers...meant to be hazy.

Split open and scraped vanilla beans; then dissolved them in 50ml of vodka for about 3 weeks before adding at the kegging stage.

Put toasted coconut in a muslim bag at kegging time. It needs to be weighed down to sink.

5 of 5

If you like coconut cake, this is the liquid version. It is very filling to drink. Though the brew session says 8% I am not so sure all non-fermentables were mucking with my Tilt.

I brewed this on request as drinking 5 gallons of a desert beer is not my thing, but if it is yours or you want a unique beer for an event...I am not kidding it tastes like coconut cake.
