2017 magnum shared by TJ on 12/9/17, thanks!
Good clarity in this burgundy-highlighted, dark mahogany. Tan head atop shows moderate retention.
Coconut in the nose is surprisingly light and allows plenty of room for light coffee-like roast, mild chocolate and moderate, seemingly well-attenuated caramel character. Clean and, if not terribly exciting in any aspect, there's also not a thing bad about any of the aspects either. No alcohol noted.
Shockingly not sweet or overdone with the coconut, in the mouth. Dare I even say somewhat enjoyable! Dry chocolate character and moderate roast adding acidity to balance. Light coffee and a bit of caramel linger with lightly fruity coconut. Fairly heavy carbonation and a reasonably malty texture.

Giant f- n-bottle pours with a mahogany colored body that supports a thin tan head. The aroma offers up dark roasted malts, spicy black strap molasses, a touch of marshmallow and a faint coconut note. The taste delivers smooth chocolate and spicy black strap molasses nuanced dark roasted malt notes. It stays like this into the finish with thin echoes of nutty coconut. Pretty nice

Poured from magnum purchased at Gary's Chestnut Hill dark black with a creamy off white head. Aroma is coffee chocolate roasted coconut and vanilla. Taste is creamy not watery for a porter well balanced with the aroma taste and creamy mouth feel. Wow a steal at 25.00.

Vom Fass die Prototype Version im Stone Brewing Berlin 2016-08 getrunken. Fast ein Dessert von einen Porter wo toll die Kokus- und Haselnußaromen durchkommen. Hier muß man dringend +45 Minuten warten bis das kaltgezapte Bier seine Aromen voll ausspielen kann. Die Bitterkeit ist sehr zurück haltend (im kalten Zustand aber deutlicher) doch hier würde eine leichte Süße es zu eine flüssigen Dessert machen. Ich finde es dennoch echt klasse. Gute Arbeit Stone Berlin!

75cl bottle from Craft Beer Store, Hamburg. The beer in the glass is deep black, nose of roasted malts, dry caramel and coconut. The beer starts fresh and deep. Lots of chocolate there, coconut and the coffee used. The hazelnuts are in the back, roasted parts, nice and very rich, creamy as well. Long intense aftertaste, hints of alcohol. Very deep and round, chocolate, not too much sweetness, the coconut and the coffee is in the background, very well balanced, great depth and smoothness. A fantastic brew.
