You're Coconuts
Glasstown Brewing Co.

2021-11-21
16oz can served in a little goblet taster. No date that I see. Received from @MacMalt in NBS BIF #14.

Pours black or very dark brown with a medium sized head that quickly dissipates into a tidy ring. Smell is clearly coffee with a pleasing level of coconut that is definitely not just in the background but (according to *my* nose at least) not exactly the center of attention. Something about it makes me think I get chocolate, but that might just be the roastiness combining with coconut.

Taste leans a bit more toward porter roastiness with coffee front and center, and maybe the coconut as ambient lighting. It's everywhere, but it's not what your attention is being drawn to. Not a lot of sweetness, goes more the bitter / roasty route.

Mouthfeel is dry, surprisingly light. Not thick. Very nice coffee porter with coconut.

 

On tap at the brewery's taproom in NJ.
Appearance. Black, opaque body with a decent head.
This is a rare coconut porter in that it has a pronounced coconut flavor. Coffee and dark roasted grains lie in the background but come more to the for in the aftertaste. This hits the Tommie with some sweetness but finished mildly bitter thanks to coffee and hops.

 

 

I had this on draught at the brewery. It pours jet black with a thin, mocha-colored head and lacing that dissipated fairly quickly. It smells of dark coffee, chocolate, and shaved coconut. The initial taste is sweet coconut followed quickly by burnt coffee grounds and a hint of maple syrup at the finish. It is quite good. This porter is rather thin in body, mildly carbonated, and is substantial with its 7.2% ABV. Overall, this is a very good coconut-flavored porter. It's the best I've had since Death by Coconut, which is intended as a high compliment. I only had a sample in a flight. I would really like to try a full pour of this at closer to room temperature. I think it could really be outstanding.

 

 

This is a fantastic beer. I keep saying it and stand by my opinion. Glasstown is the kane of south jersey. This is so similar to morning bell just with the addition of coconuts. Beer is out of this world good. Great body to it with a full mouth feel. Amazing coffee roast blends so well with the subtle but fantastic coconut undertones. Super delicious.
