I commented that a lot of people would think the correct amount of coconut in a stout would be zero, but decided to try it anyway. There's plenty of coconut on the nose, and the initial flavour is pretty strong on coconut too, but after that it starts to be more like a normal stout. (I didn't detect any steamed rice cakes, Vietnamese or otherwise.)
