Can. Very dark colour, off-white head. I really do not pick up much coconut in this one. It is quite subtle. On the other hand it has lots of roasted notes with slight chocolate, but mostly roast. Very decent stout.

Can pour from Wally’s. Aroma is roasted malts, toasted coconut, with a tinge of old dog bed. Appearance is dark brown to black opaque with strong sparkle evident on the side of the glass--like cola--ring of off-white head and trace lacing. Taste is rich dark malty roasted sweetness and bitter with touch of coconut and late dark chocolate. Palate is full bodied with thick texture and a sense of an almost synthetic coating to the mouth, average carbonation and lingering roasted bitterness. Overall, some really nice features (color, sparkle, taste, body) with some not-so-great ones (weak aroma, lack of head/lacing, strange palate.)

Dark brown pour with a tall tan head that’s quick to dissipate. Smells of roasted malts, chocolate and some coffee. Tastes like roasted malts, dark chocolate, coffee and a hint of coconut. A bit too light bodied than I’d expect from a porter, and for a coconut porter it’s quite shy on the coconuts. But aside from that, a very good beer.

Draught @ Randolph Beer. Inky black with medium sized spongy tan head, mocha aroma, low carbonation, slightly sweet chocolate taste, thin body, medium mocha finish. Very smooth and flavorful, though the coconut is all but indistinguishable.

12 oz. can purchased at One Stop Market. Dumped this into a shaker glass, deep brown color without much head. Aroma is light roast, weak chocolate, and a weak hint of coconut.
Flavor is pretty much what is expected. Roasted malt backbone with faded coffee, chocolate, and a moderate amount of bitterness. The coconut is subtle and not forward at all. Lighter in body with a softer carbonation level. In the past year I have had a two WAY bolder coconut brews. (Hodad and Death By Coconut). This is about normal for what it is. Worth a try.

355 ml can, canned 06/19/15, from BeerLovers, Vienna.
Dark brown body, with a big, fluffy, moderately lacing, dark beige head.
Aroma of coconut, chocolate, cocoa, vanilla, dark fruits.
Tastes of chocolate, dark and dried fruits, coconut, some coffee, slight liquorice.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes medium roasty-bitter, quite dry, with dark chocolate, coffee, some coconut, slight wood.
Very nice. Lovely, sweet nose, with full coconut and chocolate notes. Taste is slightly too light bodied for my taste, while also really nice. Finishes dry, with almost no sweetness, so that it is quite easy. Overall a quaffable Porter, with some uniqueness.
