Draft - Light roast and dark chocolate with toasted coconut. Dark brown with a decent light brown head. Lots of coconut and light chocolate. Long finish. Tons of coconut notes.

I’m usually partial to coconut but this is more like processed coconut flakes than real coconut. It’s an idea that could work with fresh coconut water but here it doesn’t - the coconut just overtakes the badly brewed porter. Every beer they have tastes the same with minor adjustments. Getting near unpalatable. On tap at brewpub - this was the ’brewer’s choice.’

On tap. Pours a deep dark red/black with light head. Aromas of coconut and light roasted malts. Tastes like a coconut chocolate bar. Neat.

Cask at Alibi Room, Vancouver
Dark brown color; almost no head. Very nice aroma, mildly roasted malts, chocolate, a bit fruity too; new leather, very light phenol. Smooth mouthfeel, good mild chocolate flavor; there is something more, maybe the coconut, subdued but nice, and some coffee; the final is drier; correct bitterness, with a fairly good hopping. Very good session beer.

I’m an avid disliker of coconut flavoured products of all types, and yet when presented with a coconut-flavoured beer my masochistic side jumps to the fore and demands to know what it could possibly taste like. Has a decent black body and barely any head. The aroma is all subdued barley. The flavour - well, there’s the coconut, almost entirely coconut, with some vague porter notes in the back. It seems well balanced, and the coconut isn’t as awful as I would have expected; the chocolate-coffee barley notes and the coconut tend to work all right together, and I find it drinkable, even as an avowed hater of coconut.

Tap. Dark brown. Subtle and well put together. Chocolate, light coconut - like a dry bounty bar. Chewy body, mellow mouthfeel. Pleasant sessionable porter.

Sampled at GCBF '10, pours dark brown. Aroma and flavour of dominating coconut, with undertones of roasted malt. Decent. 6 3 6 3 12 3.0/5
On tap at Swans Hotel, pours jet black with a small tan head. Nose brings out toasted coconut and medium roast. Flavour is very smooth, with lots of toasted coconut and toasted malt. A coconut bomb, with subdued cocoa. Quite nice stuff, much better than when I had it 6 years earlier.

Dark brown. Not much head - coconut oil perhaps? Light chocolate nose and vague coconut. Fairly bland porter - cheap coffee, vague chocolate but not much of either. Very limited coconut. This idea has been done much better.

Bottle@UDRM. Dark color, big brown head. Sweet sourish aroma, artificial fruity, apricot. Bit sourish malty taste. Slight sticky palate.
