Morning Luau

Pours deep black brown with tan head that faded quick. Loads of sweet and sugary toasted coconut on the nose with a coffee shop aroma as well. Taste balanced with coconut sweetness melds well with the coffee, which is restrained and provides a nutty roasty background. Higher carbed and quite a bit thinner than Phase 3 Pressed, which is the closest local comparison for the porter style, abv and coffee + adjuncts.

My personal preference would be thicker with lower carb but top notch flavor and nose.

 

This one had a ton of coconut in the smell. It also had lots of coffee in the smell too. There was a nice roasty aroma from the malt also. The taste was a lot of coffee and coconut but their was some lingering slightly chocolate taste at the end. I thought it was too thin in the mouthfeel. This was good and could have been great if it was thicker.
