    Maui Coconut Porter
    Firestone Walker 15 has a good amount of coconut flavor to it, though I'm pretty sure it isn't brewed with it.

    try KoKo Brown from Kona. it's not exactly a porter, but it's a good beer that properly features coconut.

    Had the koko brown a few times . Looking for a heavier mouthfeel to go along with the toasted coconut . Thinking about trying to acquire some Maui coconut porter via trade and give that a whirl .

    Maui coconut porter is decent but what I really enjoyed is Ballast Points Indra kunindra (sp). Around here there is a straight coconut beer called Pahoehoe form Two Brothers.

    Then Maui is probably your best bet. It's more of a toasted coconut flavor, and not as sweet as the Koko Brown. I guess it depends what you prefer. FWIW, I wasn't wild about it. I'd much rather drink Koko Brown for that coconut punch in the mouth.

    It's not a dedicated coconut beer, but New Holland Dragon's Milk had some of the most pronounced coconut flavors of any beer I've had.

    While not a porter or stout, I had a Two Brothers Pahoehoe last night and it was really interesting. It's made with coconut milk and raw coconut and I definitely haven't had a beer quite like it before.

    You may want to look into Fantastic Voyage by Perennial Artisan Ales. It's a Milk Stout brewed w/Coconut. Smooth cocoa flavor with a nice coconut finish.

    Didn't Maui do an Imperial Coconut Porter a couple years ago? I could have sworn I had that on draft in Honolulu a couple years back. The wife and I both liked it.

    Yes, draft only. I had it at the brewpub and I really liked it.

    I don't know if they sell it in bottles or if you could get it anyways (so why I'm posting I have no idea) but the brew kettle in strongsville Ohio has an excellent coconut stout. I had it on tap at winter beerfest in Columbus. One of the best beers I had all night.

    I can say Maui Imperial CoCoNut is the bomb!
    On another note, I was at Stone Brewery one afternoon and they had Arrogant w coconut on cask...pure beer greatness!

    Perennial Fantastic Voyage is one of my favorite coconut beers. Imperial stout with toasted coconut and lactose. Smooth and rich with a nice sweet coconut finish.
