Pours a mahogany colour, bit pale for a big porter, nice medium-thickness beige head, decent density and decent retention. Nice lace.
Smells kind of weakly portery, to the point where it has a slightly sour vibe to it. Touch of roast, slight vinous edge and a bit of yeast. Not bad but could use more oomph.
Taste is a bit tart again. Spicy coffee on the front palate, descends into a certain kind of portery finish, with a touch of roast, red wine and a slight smoky edge. OK but definitely lacking in vanilla and coconut, just a fairly average porter.
Body is slightly thin which allows that alcohol to come through and warm the cockles. Could really use more presence in the mouth though.
Not a lot of the characters promised. Quite bitter, which would be fine if I weren't expecting something sweeter and more dessert-like.

Tried on-tap at GABS2014 in Melbourne.
Pours a deep red colour, certainly a little light for a porter, with a relatively clear body that does seem darker than it should be otherwise if it was genuinely clear. Head is a firm ring of yellow white that stays around fairly persistently. Looks decent enough.
Nose is dusky with grain notes and a disappointing flour character. As it swirls and warms it gets a little toastier, with some chocolate coming through as well. Weaker on the finish, and I don't really feel a hint of the vanilla or the coconut, which is a shame.
Light brown malt entry on the palate that disappears fairly quickly, leaving an empty, grainy, husky flavour that doesn't do much. On the back we get an inky, almost chemical character (which may be coconut meat—or worse, may be artificial coconut essence). Very faint, receding sharpness.
Feel is very light indeed.
Overall, it's not a really great beer. It's mostly dull, and the few twists that it attempts tend to go awry. Certainly not one of the highlights of the festival.
