Club & Brewer Notes:
BA Coconut Kiloton is a Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Dark Ale brewed by Able Baker Brewing in Las Vegas, Nevada. Weighing in at a hefty 12.1% ABV, this "pastry stout-style" beer is known for its massive explosion of toasted coconut flavor, complemented by subtle notes of chocolate and cherrywood, as a result of aging in premium bourbon barrels (such as Woodford Reserve) and conditioning on cocoa nibs. The name references a nuclear "kiloton," paying homage to the 1946 atomic testing at Bikini Atoll where the coconut was famously the first element to prove resilience and regrow.
