    I'll add another for Baxter Window Seat. Tons of coconut. Not sure how far Baxter's distro reaches out of the NE/Atlantic region, though.

    One of the more coconut forward beers I've had is Dark Persuasion German Chocolate Stout from Icicle brewing in Washington. Tiny little brewery in a Bavarian village. The rating may not look impressive but I promise you if Funky Buddha made this beer, people would lose their shit. Coconut jumps out of the glass.

    Goose Island Bourbon County Stout Proprietor's is very coconutty, that is, if you can get your hands on a bottle.

    I've never heard of doing this, and I'm going to immediately try this! It's like having a crude Randall, for 1/1000th of the cost!

    Take any nano porter, decant over a mounds into an appropriate wooden bucket. Wait. Works better if the bucket has been passified with ocelot urine.

    Papago Coconut Joe is great. Not sure if they can it or not.

    Exactly, and don't stop at coconut. Works for coffee, fruit, hops, vanilla bean, etc. infusions.

    But not reese's, never reese's for porters and most stouts. reese's are milk chocolate, and this method should only be used with reese's and milk stouts. If you get the Godiva dark chocolate peanut butter cups, well, that's a horse of a different color.

    or you can just pony up for Fat Alberta for that peanut butter chocolate stout luvin'

    Skittles don't work with porter or stout, not enough coloring. Save those for the DIPA and Gose.

    You can't get it, but So Happens Its Tuesday - Coconut was the most Coconut forward I've tasted.

    I have the Spiteful chilling right now. Any thoughts vs Toasty Nut Abduction?

    I got almost no coconut in Kona Porter, just saying.
