Pour is a complete black with a small tan head. Aroma is pretty much all coconut with a slight semisweet chocolate. Flavor is a decent amount of coconut with some bitter chocolate. It has a pretty thin mouthfeel and there is not much, or any roasted malt presence. On the other hand if you like toasted coconut with a little chocolate in the background then this is the beer for you.

Sample at the Biltmore Village taproom. Dark brown color with a medium tan head that recedes quickly to a film. Small patches of lacing on the glass. Aroma of roast malt, chocolate and slight coconut. Light body with flavors of malt, mild coffee and a hint of toasty coconut. The finish is sweet with a malty aftertaste. Decent overall.

A dark brown porter with no head. In aroma, smooth chocolate malt with light coconut and smokiness. In mouth, a nice chocolate malt with caramel and coconut, coffee, well done.

Pouts black into a shaker. Mocha head recedes to skim surface. Chocolate aromas. Spritzy with dark chocolate upfront turning to chocolate in the lasting mild espresso finish.

Draft. Almost black, beige head. Aroma of coconut milk and cocoa. Taste is coconut flesh and dark milk chocolate, like a Mounds bar in a glass. Nice.

Brewgrass 2009 Pours clear brown, much lighter than I expect for a Porter. Very little coconut aroma, some malt. The flavor is also very light on the coconut and the Porter is weak. Thin, disappointing.
