A Note on This Beer

This is the first Stout we’ve been able to spirit away from YaYa Brewing!

And, that’s HUGE. Before opening their Spokane, Washington brewery in September 2019, YaYa founders (and brothers!) Chris and Jason Gass learned the art of craft from some of the very best microbreweries in the game – Foundation, Battery Steele, and Austin Street, to name a few! 

YaYa’s fan base grew quickly, and their success has helped spur a wave of new breweries throughout the region. 

Though, until today’s Dark Nova Coconut Milk Stout, we’d only had a small taste of their brewing prowess. Now, we’re certain there’s no limit to their talents!

Grab a sip of your own, and you’ll realize we’re not kidding around! This 8.5% ABV obsidian treat brims with chocolate-dipped macaroon deliciousness, thanks to cocoa and coconut added post-fermentation. 

It sips down velvety smooth, too, from the creamy lactose in the base. 

Local taster @Chase C. isn’t holding back about the Stout’s charms: “This is goooooood! SUPER balanced for a coconut stout. Not overly sweet at all, just enough coconut to let you know it’s there...it’s silky smooth, baby!”

Delicious. Tastes exactly like a coconut macaroon. Not too sweet or too heavy. Very good.

Really nice roast and coconut. Some chocolate covered espresso beans in the base. Could use a bit less carbonation, but the flavors are spot on.

This was not a good beer. It lacked the characteristic silky mouthfeel and slight sweetness of a good milk stout. I’ve tasted many coconut beers and there was no detectable flavor of coconut. It was dominated by an acrid, burnt taste, almost as though an excessive amount of roasted barley was used in the mash. This was the only beer I’ve purchased through Tavour that I didn’t rate at least three stars, and the only one I didn’t finish.
