Canned 1/15/26, drunk 8/20/26.
Moderate roast, very clean, with chocolate and very light coconut on the finish. Fruity, tasteful, not over-roasted. Not richly aromatic, but it is only 5.6%.
Considerably maltier and with more coconut than the nose suggests. Great balance of sweet chocolatey notes and roasty porter. The coconut adds a fruitiness on the finish, adding complexity and a bit of nuttiness. All the while, the beer is well-attenuated and quite drinkable.

12oz can from Brewers Haven. Dark, clear brown pour with a fizzy beige head. Aroma is light coconut and dark toasty malts. Coconut much more pronounced in the taste, along with some sweetness, tapering off to a dry and mildly bitter finish.

12 ounce can from Tavour. Chestnut brown pour. Frothy beige head. Mild toasty aroma hints at coconut. Flavor is light coffee, milk chocolate and coconut. The color and texture are a bit light for the style. But the flavors of coffee, cocoa and coconut are well represented. Medium bodied and flavorful.

Another offering from my Tavour purchase a couple of months ago, a new brewery to me. I open up the 12 oz can and pour into my Great Heights snifter to view to see a dark brown with distinctive amber highlights for a body. What head there is goes away promptly. The smell is light, just a small amount of sweetish coconut. A sip gives full effect of the coconut, I don't mind, malt, grain and something earthy. I am not exactly a big porter fan but the combination of flavors here is not bad.

On Tap at Spitfire pizza. Dark deep brown pour, thin fine light briwn head. Moderate coconut aroams and lots of nice toasted malts. Coconut comes through a bit more in the flavors, but blends well and turns out, nicely balanced. Good medium weight porter. Tasty

355ml can from Trader Joes, U-District, Seattle during our traditional first-day-of-holiday jetlagged supermarket beer evening. Pours a deep majogany, thin off white bubbles atop. Strong coconut nose, cocoa grain. Taste has similarly prominent coconut, dusty cocoa emerging, moderate bitterness.. pretty good
