***filled 6-14-17, 7% abv version***
L: pours very thick and pitch black with no head.
S: dark roasted malt, milk chocolate, slight coconut and vanilla
T: the coconut and vanilla are very present in the taste and the roasted malt and chocolate are less than the nose. I wish the coconut and vanilla were exploding. Good flavors but wanting more.
F: very creamy and smooth. Medium thickness.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pours a black color. 1/4 inch head of an off-white color. Slight retention and decent lacing. Smells of cocoa, vanilla, sweet malt, hint of roasted malt, chocolate, and a hint of alcohol. Fits the style of an American Porter. Mouth feel is smooth and clean, with a low carbonation level. Tastes of cocoa, vanilla, sweet malt, hint of roasted malt, chocolate, and a hint of alcohol. Overall, weak appearance, good aroma, body, and blend, with a great feel.

 

Pour deep brown with a thin film of mocha head. Lots of chocolate and roasted malts in the nose.....with hints of coconut and vanilla. The coconut comes across a little stronger in taste but doesn't overpower the other elements. Feel is medium heavy for a porter with moderately low carbonation. Very enjoyable brew....lots of coconut beers come across as either artificial or thin, but this porter exceeds expectations in both elements.
