Can sample at a tasting at Alexey & Rafaela’s place. Thanks Tom L. Dark brown to black with a beige head. Nice aroma of chocolate, coconut, a bit of coffee, and roastiness. Sweetish roasty flavor with chocolate, coconut, a bit of coffee. Medium-bodied.

Light coconut and some roast here makes for a nice well rounded package. Idea works well here. Pours dark brown/black with decent initial head and lacing. Bitter finish with some caramel and chocolate sweetness. Can.

Pour is a black with a rather large tan head for a porter. Aroma is a decent roasty malt with some cocoa power. Flavor is a thick heavy mouth feel with some silky chocolate and chewy roasted malt. A bit of coconut comes after the swallow along with a nice sweet oily malt. This is a great porter just kinda disappointed that there was not much coconut to this.

Can. A- Fudge, cocoa, mocha, subtle coconut, slightly sweet, roasted. A- Black color, black liquid, tan frothy head. T- Fudge, cocoa, chocolate, subtle espresso, coconut, toasty. P- Medium body, average texture, high carbonation, roasty finish. O- Not as good as I was hoping for but still good. The coconut was pretty darn subtle and I think it’d have been a lot better if it was more forward. Overall, it was more of a malty, roasty, fudge taste and aroma. Again, not bad but not what I wanted. The only thing I wasn’t a fan of was the high carbonation. That was quite unexpected.

Can poured at home. Dark pour with a brown cloudy head. Aroma is mostly chocolate. Very smooth taste with roasted caramel and chocolate. Not getting a whole lot of coconut, but I can tell it’s there. Very easy drinking, delicious porter.
