Deep, rich and delicious. This robust porter has a base of Chocolate and Brown malts for a stunningly deep rich color with ruby highlights. The slight bitterness from American chocolate is balanced with the sweet notes of organic coconut we toast onsite at the brewery. It was even awarded the Great American Beer Festival Silver Medal in 2012.

I’m getting beer advice from a lady who’s eyebrows are both drawn on, and halfway up her forehead. This is the best vacation I’ve ever had.

Pounder can from a total wine and more in NC. Pour is big and black. Initial uptake is a little on the sweet side. Difficult to pick out the coconut in there except maybe the sweet cloying thing is it. Yea, definitely you can tell this is a higher alky porter. Think almost cloying baltic porter. Somewhat decent carbonation. Still, in the middle the sweetness is getting harder to take, reminds me of those pastry stouts, yuk. Yes, finish is certainly pastry stout.

On tap at the Noda airport. 14 ounces in a pint glass, whatever. Dark, opaque, chocolate-y brown on black with a tan head. Char & burn biscuit nose. Bittersweet, dusty cocoa, silky feel, frothy carb, wood chips, faint boozy-ness, subtle vanilla, lingering burnt toast. Not absolutely dry, but not noticably sweet. Simple & effective. Good.

Can (4/26/21) pour from 1897 Market, CLT airport. It’s an opaque black with nice sparkle at the edges of the glass with 2-finger width light brown foamy head with good retention and nice rings of lacing. Aroma is a mix of sweet and bitter earthy roasted malts with a nutty, industrial quality. Taste follows aroma but more discernible coffee and chocolate notes along with the earthy roasted malts. Odd/unpleasant nut/industrial quality not present. Neither is coconut. Mouthfeel is light side of light to medium bodied with thin, creamy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, good strength but something is a little off in the aroma. A little thin.

4 month old pint can A: Poured a big brown frothy head atop a black/brown body with mahogany highlights. Good retention and patchy lace. S: Heavy on chocolate with bitter baking chocolate, sweet milk chocolate and coco powder. T: A tart fruity first note suggests sour berries or maybe orange. Bitter and powdery coco and chocolate then joins.The tartness and powder linger. Coconut is practically non-existent (fortunately). M: Lively carbonation, a slick smooth feel then a clean wet finish. O: Very nice unexpected tart aspect and light handed coconut make this well worth buying again.

Can, shared on mansquito's stoop. Pours black. Roast, chocolate, light bitterness, light sharpness. Medium body. Not much of the coconut comes through. Fine.

Can from weihenweizen: pours black with a beige head. Aroma is hints of chocolate and a bit of coconut. Taste is lightly bitter, slight sweetness. There is not a huge amount of coconut.

pint can via trade, thanks Arturo. Canned 12/24/2019.
Brune foncée, col blanc-cassé.
Arôme au nez fin malté, carmel, touche de grillé avec léger côté fruité et fin houblonné;
Palais est plaisant avec belle note des malts - caramel, cacao, le tout est assez sec et garde un côté de grains concassés en fin de bouche; Petite note grillée qui perdure tout au long avec un léger fruité rouge sur la fin.

Pours dark brown into a shaker. Mocha head with medium retention recedes to hug rim. Dusty cocoa aromas. Soft with chocolate syrup and coconut upfront turning to a dusty cocoa finish.
