Tasting Profile

4.6Untappd

Doozie Coconut (2026) pours an impenetrable jet-black with a thin, mocha-tinted collar that clings to the glass with remarkable persistence, leaving delicate lacing with each sip. The nose is immediately and arrestingly tropical-meets-indulgent: a wall of freshly toasted coconut leads the charge, followed by layers of dark chocolate ganache, buttery bourbon barrel warmth, vanilla bean richness, and a whisper of roasted hazelnut. On the palate, the mouthfeel is syrupy and full-bodied — almost chewy — with a sweetness that is opulent but kept in check by the deep barrel integration.

Key flavour notes include macaroon-like coconut, bittersweet cocoa, toasted almond, and a creamy caramel undercurrent drawn from the long contact with Buffalo Trace and Yellowstone bourbon barrels. The finish is long and warming, with a woody, bourbony dryness that elegantly offsets the dessert-forward sweetness. At 15% ABV, this is a sipping beer of extraordinary depth, best enjoyed slowly at cellar temperature to allow its many layers to fully open. A world-class annual release from Ann Arbor’s HOMES Brewery. Explore the full Untappd listing at https://untappd.com/HOMESBrewery1.

Food Pairing

HOMES Brewery Doozie Coconut 2026 pairs magnificently with a dark chocolate and salted caramel tart. Then whose bittersweet cocoa crust mirrors the beer’s barrel-driven depth. For a savoury contrast, try an aged Comté or Gruyère: the nutty, crystalline character of the cheese cuts through the imperial pastry stout’s richness and amplifies its toasted hazelnut and coconut adjuncts beautifully.
