    It was pretty good, on cask so a little warm on the temperature side. No Crolwer fills allowed since it probably wouldn't keep well or long since it was on the hand pull. Though I've Crowlered firkins @ Dry Dock and they tasted fine later that night. Never tried to keep one longer than that

    It hit Mr. B's a couple hours ago, while I was in browsing for other things. Man at the counter said "We got a decent allotment, hopefully it'll last more than 1 day." Don't sue me if it's already gone, though. Don't sue him either, he did say "hopefully."

    It's around Boulder as well. Man, this stuff is fantastic.

    Anyone else notice a difference? Trust me still fantastic, it just seems like the flavors are not as bold as they once were.

    Still some here... but probably won't make it 'til the end of the day.
    Hell, I might even buy another one.

    Broken Compass Coconut Porter >>> Death by Coconut. Wish they canned it.

    While they only bust it out once in a blue moon, Dry Dock's Coconut Porter firkin is still the best coconut porter I've ever had. DbC is pretty similar, though.

    Yes. This batch was brewed in Longmont. Pretty sure the previous batches were brewed in Lyons. Maybe it didn't scale up as well?

    Of the new batch I've had it on tap at the Weasel, filled 2 Crowlers and bought 6 cans. After consuming all those (with the help of the wife) I say it definitely does not have near as much coconut or cocoa as the previous batches.
    It's still a good tasting porter but the "WOW" is gone.

    I'm visiting Denver this week and this has eluded me. I would be in debt to you if someone could point me in the direction of this near the Lowry area. PM if you can. Thanks and you have a great beer city!
