    2013 or 2014 Proprietor's BCBS. Maui Imperial Coconut Porter. Neither of these are particularly easy to acquire.

    This is what I came here to suggest. It is easily the most coconut forward beer I have ever tried. Not so much chocolate from what I can remember, but a pretty tasty beer.

    Excel 2nd anniversary imperial porter…rye whiskey aged for ~1year brewed with coconut. The most coconut forward beer I have had. Still a couple on the shelf at my local shop if you are interested.

    I was lucky enough to try 18th Street Hunter Coconut for the first time recently on draft. I love coconut, and this beer did not disappoint. The coconut definitely was not hiding. Great beer.

    The finish is all chocolate and toasted coconut to me. Give this another try and make sure she's not too cold. Cheers!

    Baxter's Window Seat is one I had recently: coconut, almond porter. Tasty, simple, not too heavy.

    I've been studying up on this subject the past couple of weeks (thanks to a few old threads on BA). Thinking about taking the "french press" plunge this weekend.

    Start homebrewing. Strong porters are surprisingly easy to make, and nothing's easier (or more soul satisfying) than buying a bunch of shredded coconut and toasting it.

    A couple hours of reading, a big pot, decent oven, bunch of malt extract, some willamette hop pellets, a carboy, some bags of ice, some scottish ale yeast, and the aforementioned coconut and you're good to go. very surprising how easy it is

    I wouldn't recommend Maui Coconut Porter. Hint of Coconut at most. I'd also steer clear of Cocoa-nut framing hammer and Westbrook 4th as the coconut flavors there are secondary and mild at best. Last snow and coconut hunter are by far the most coconut forward I've had.

    Oskar Blues Death by Coconut was solid but I'm not sure it in production. Hodad is decent as well. 13 Prop was toasted coconut but most of it has faded from the recent ones I've had.

    No chocolate, but Baxter's Window Seat with almond and coconut has plenty of coconut flavor.

    As mentioned Westbrooks Anniversary which was a tremendous beer grant it I didn't overtly taste much coconut at all. But I wish I had bought more than one bottle. But being close to NoDa I definitely recommend Coco Loco too. Didn't pick up much coconut in that either but I've never been a coconut fan so my brain might just be telling me it's not there. Lol.

    I would say your issue there is its only available in growlers and 4pk 16oz cans. Imperaial Coco Loco maybe?

    I thought you were talking about Westbrook 4th Anniversary.
