  A truckload of Samoa Girl Scout cookies collides with a pallet of Almond Joys. Add some sea salt and voila - you get Samoa This. This high powered dessert beer from Southern Tier is a tasty concoction which goes down very easily. I like this beer a lot. It's sweet but not too sweet. A great blend of chocolate, caramel, coconut and salt. Good work Southern Tier!
  Pours dark brown almost black with a three finger airy head.
  Nose is the best part. Incredibly sweet coconut and whipped cream. Smells like a Samoa cookie.
  Mouth is very thin which is a little disappointing after the big nose. Coconut , chocolate, lactose , caramel and whiskey.
  Enjoyable dessert brew. Make the mouth thicker and it would be a bomb!!

  Rating based on style and ingredients. Dark brown color when poured into a glass. Coconut is the main flavor in the nose to me. Coconut is hidden slightly in the initial taste by the chocolate. Coconut is very present in the aftertaste. Fairly smooth for the ABV and coconut. Delivers on the labeled ingredients and is 100% a desert beer.

  L: Dark, dark brown pour... nearly black with a finger of off-white head. Nice ring of lacing.
  S: Roast and coconut. Sweet and toasty.
  T.F: Sweet up front. Toasted/roasted grains, dark sugars, and coconut. Not much char... some vanilla and caramel. Chocolate. Medium bodied.... creamy mouthfeel and carbonation. More toasted coconut at the finish.
  O: Almost like an almond joy in a glass. If you like coconut this beer will be up your alley. I don't typically go for sweet/dessert stouts but this one hit the spot.

  Appearance: Pours an opaque fudge brown with a thin head that disappears; spotty lacing
  Smell: Chocolate, caramel and coconut - basically smells like a Samoa
  Taste: Sweetened chocolate with caramel and toasted coconut; the sweetness builds but is just shy of getting too cloying; some booziness in the finish
  Overall: Southern Tier pioneered this style but, with this one, they have dialed it back; the mouthfeel is thinner than expected and the flavors taste a little artificial

  Another impressive desert beer from Southern Tier. Nice coconut, caramel, chocolate smell and taste. It does what it says it will do and does it well. Pretty impressive. I will revisit soon.

  Pours seal brown with a transient skim of khaki bubbles. The aroma smells of straight up confectioners chocolates (or cake-pops), with oodles of coconut, lactose, butterscotch, and just plain sugar—bombastic and disconcertingly close to unnatural for a beer. I can almost feel my teeth rotting...
  The taste is as I suspected it might be—oozing with "coconut flavor added". A base of toasted marshmallow, burnt toast, and roasted malt lurks somewhere beneath this essence of coconut, but it takes some patience to unearth. Hops are piney and come across almost juniper-like in this context. Warming reveals notes of lactose and caramel. Light body and mild carbonation make for a limp mouthfeel, especially for a stout.
  Southern Tier has never let me down in the past, but this was a mighty disappointing offering, I must say. Artificial and thin would be the most apt descriptors for this concept beer.

  Samoa This pours a black color, with a small, tan head. Big coconut aroma, hints of chocolate and caramel. Flavor is huge won coconut, lots of very sweet chocolate, hints of caramel. Good body and feel. Overall, it tastes like the cookie; very sweet, very overpowering.

  Pours black with a finger of khaki head. Head retention is good. Aroma is big and bold chocolate and coconut and roasty and toasty malts. Vanilla bean adds a little additional sweetness. It comes out swinging, hitting big, powerful notes. Flavor profile is milk chocolate, coconut, toffee, and vanilla bean. Roasty and toasty malts add a little support and balance for the flavorful, sugary additions. Mouth feel is velvety and decadent, with a thick consistency. Overall, a big and flavorful beer that is no doubt a dessert beer based on its sweetness. Sweetness isn't cloying, but edges up close.
