Sensory Description:

Pouring a dark chestnut brown with a persistent khaki head, PM Dawn opens with bold aromas of freshly roasted dark coffee accented by sweet shredded coconut, toasted graham cracker, caramel, and chocolate chips. The palate is expansive and indulgent, showing cold-brew driven notes of roasted hazelnut and melted dark chocolate layered with a bright, expressive coconut character reminiscent of macaroons, confectionery chocolate, and Caribbean-style sugar cake. Medium to heavy in body with a lush mouthfeel, the beer finishes smooth and balanced, with gentle bitterness keeping the richness in check. Compared to many imperial stouts, this expression emphasizes harmony over heaviness, allowing each component to remain distinct yet integrated.
