Appearance: Very dark brown, almost black. Against a strong light it is walnut-brown with hazy sienna highlights at the edges. Aroma: Strong black coffee made from freshly-ground beans, and there is a note of caramel or brown sugar that is not found in regular Mr Black. This is the only hint of the rum component and I detected no trace of coconut at all. Taste and Texture: Sweet and silky on the palate - an excellent texture. There is a hint of bitterness (as there should be) but this is balanced by the sugar component, so overall it is almost exactly like a cup of sweetened black coffee. As with the nose there is a caramel or burnt-sugar note that is just vaguely discernible as rum, but if you did not know this is laced with rum you might not pick it, and again no sign of coconut. How odd. Regular Mr Black has been my go-to coffee liqueur since I discovered it three years ago. I rated it 5 stars here in my 2020 review and that rating has never faltered. It is the only coffee liqueur I’ll use for an espresso martini nowadays. However while this "Coconuts!" expression is a very good coffee liqueur I don’t like it as much as the regular version, and certainly not as much as the special edition they made from single origin Columbian beans, which was spectacular. The smear of rum they have added to this one is OK, it adds a certain thickness to the palate but it also makes the profile seem less focused. The most surprising thing is that I could not detect any coconut aroma or flavor whatsoever so in that respect it is a complete fail. I had hoped for a much clearer, cleaner presence of both rum and coconut but the reality is that it's hardly different from the regular Mr Black, and the difference that is detectable is one of inferiority. Even so, it's a good liqueur and light years ahead of the vast majority of coffee liqueurs, but I’ll still take the regular version any day. “Very Good” 86/100 (4 stars)
