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.

Roast and some coconut. Some caramel. Dark brown pour with decent head. Bittersweet finish with tangy cloying aftertaste that lingers a little long. Can.

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

Can from andrewje41 really shouldn’t have popped 3 new brew one night but alas in one of those states this evening. Brown pour some legs. Nos rid full coconut in my opinion and some chocolate. Taste sof rich coconut, chocolate, earth, vanilla, cola, oats. Body is soda like. Not too sweet which I appreciate.
