Modern Times Decahex: Double Coconut Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout (Picked up at the brewery itself in Point Loma, RIP). A 4 of 4. Having had the 10th Anniversary version of this and really enjoyed it, this is just that big, oily, boozy imperial stout with quite a bit of coconut to it, which is a nice addition and plays well. Really rounds it out a bit and makes it more dessert-y, not that it wasn't before. The bourbon barrel really helps cut some of the sweetness, too, and this is surprisingly balanced for its size.

Double Coconut, Lodoicoa maldivica, is way better.  The nuts may weigh as much as 40-45 pounds each and are the largest seeds on the planet.
