Technical Details

Tasting Profile

4.6Untappd

Eunoia Batch 18: Coconut pours an impenetrable jet-black with virtually no head, its viscous, motor-oil body clinging to the glass with the quiet authority of a world-class barrel-aged imperial stout. The nose is immediately enveloping: waves of toasted coconut dominate, backed by dark chocolate fudge, vanilla bean, bourbon-soaked oak, and a whisper of roasted espresso. On the palate, the mouthfeel is extraordinarily full and silky, coating every surface with a dense, almost chewy richness that speaks to the extended 19–37 months of bourbon barrel conditioning. Sweetness is pronounced but never cloying — dark coconut macaroon and milk chocolate lead the charge, with molasses and brown sugar layered beneath.

Bitterness is subtle, just enough roast to anchor the decadent adjunct profile. The finish is long, warming, and coconut-forward, with gentle bourbon heat and lingering vanilla that rewards patience. This is a beer built for contemplative sipping and short-term cellaring, offering exceptional complexity and the kind of depth that has cemented Phase Three Brewing’s Eunoia series as one of America’s most revered barrel-aged imperial stout lines. Rated 4.6/5 on Untappd. Full profile at https://untappd.com/b/phase-three-brewing-eunoia-batch-18-coconut/6023049.
