Great Crescent Coconut Porter is brewed as a traditional English Style Porter. Organic Coconut is added during the brewing process to give this beer a nutty flavor and a little touch of sweetness that blends perfectly with the style. A hop blend of English East Kent Goldings and Fuggle give this beer an authentic flavor.

Served in a Duvel tulip glass.
Thanks to VDubb86 for sharing this random growler!
I do so love me the randomness. It pours a murky black-brown topped by a finger of dirty tan foam. The nose comprises blackened pretzels, light roasted malts, sweet milk, and some grass in the background. The taste holds notes of greens, grass, flowers, soil, light roasted malts, and a touch of bitter dark chocolate. The body is a sleek medium, with a light moderate carbonation, a slightly watery feel, and a dry finish. Overall, I was not a fan of this too much, especially considering the seeming lack of coconuttiness.

From the brewery via howler in my pint glass.
Dark brown color with a finger thick dense brown head that dissipates quickly.
Roasted malt and a hint of coconut aroma.
Taste has lots of dark chocolate and some coffee in the finish. Coconut is shining through just a little bit.
Medium body with light carbonation, feels a bit watery.
Overall, quite enjoyable. Would love to taste more of the coconut.

This one was a tough one for me to rate. It really isn't as bad as my rating leads on. At the same time it really doesn't have anything special about it either. I guess I could see myself enjoying the entire 4 pack. Just not sure I'd come back to it with my next purchase. Definitely worth trying.
