Be careful with this one! There's so much cocoa and coconut jammed into this can that it's actually a safety hazard. Don't take your eyes off it or you might end up getting blown away by a fiery volley of Cannon Fire!

NOV-2018. CAN 50 CL, 6% ABV. Opaque black, beige head. Quite a bit of coconut in the aroma - coconut oatmeal cookies, coconut candies. Smooth enough, not cheap. Less of a porter though. The taste is fairly (coco-)nutty too - less sweet, not much toasty-roasty flavours, more of that coconut flakes oily bitterness. The body is not exactly thin, but kinda lacks some of that malty/grainy substance and smoothness. Drinkable, probably as good as it gets, but still... a gimmick more than a beer. 7-4-6-4-13=3,4.
DEC-2016. Bottle 50 CL from the brewer. Totally black, dark espresso head. The coconut dominates the light chocolaty notes. Fortunately, the taste is more balanced - only subtle coconut, subtle black chocolate and hints of dark fruits, followed by a dry bitter finish with light notes if burnt oil. Very good. 6-4-7-4-14=3.5.
