Coco Van Porter
Black Isle Brewery Co Ltd

440ml can from Oddbins:
Very dark brown, almost black with an opaque body & a large, foamy head that's tan brown with a creamy surface & starts just under 3cm tall before reducing to about half a cm tall. It's a sweet nose with coconut & some vanilla on top of milk chocolate notes & dark malts with some hazelnut /praline in there too. The taste is dominated by dark malts, chocolate & the coconut from the nose. It's a little more nutty at the end than it was with the nose, some of the praline again coming through strong. It's smooth beer though with a medium body, subtle carbonation & plenty of sweetness throughout.
