Pours deep mahogany into a tulip. Creamy, mocha head with medium retention recedes to hug rim. Vanilla and chocolate aromas. Dry with coconut, almond and chocolate upfront turning to espresso in the lasting finish.

This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a dark brown close to black color with a thin white head that quickly dissipated leaving a light little cap of a film of a head. Lacing was slightly bubbly and somewhat stringy.
The smell had some dry coconut, roasty coffee, subtle dry almond/nuttiness with a little bit of cocoa powder here and there.
The taste was moderately bitter and roasty through the coffee and then some sweetness from the coconut and cocoa powder.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fine sessionable feel as a porter. Gets pretty dry on my tongue with the roasty to bitterness quality rolling on my tongue.
Overall, I’d say this was a pretty good porter that I’d have again. Seems like \"coconut\" in a porter is the in thing.

Can from jredmond. A foamer! Pours brown with a tan head. Aroma of toasted malt and coconut. Med body or so. Flavor is chocolate, mild coconut and smooth burnt malt. Maybe some chocolate in the finish. A bit thinnish in body, and the flavors are solid, but not strong. For what it is supposed to be, it’s a fairly good ale to choose.

Bottle shared at Max and Andy's Tasting, 2/28/15
Didn't write down much here, just a score, and the fact that this one tastes and smells like sun tan oil. I think that's really all that's needed though.

Can. Pours clear ruby mahogany, small beige head, dissipates fairly quickly, decent lacing. Aroma is coconut, roasted malts, chocolate. Medium sweet, light bitter, roasty, coconut flesh. Medium light body; a solid, if unexceptional, porter.

Can from Bert’s Huge coconut on the nose with a bit of chocolate nuttiness. The flavor is again huge on the coconut with a moderate chocolate maltiness to counter. Too much coconut for my tastes.
