12 ounce bottle into pint glass; no bottle dating, but is a recent release. Pours hazy dark brown color with a 1 finger dense khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with some light streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of milk chocolate, toasted coconut, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, brown bread, vanilla, light coffee, light herbal, and roast/toasted earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malt, coconut, and light earthy hop notes; with good strength. Taste of milk chocolate, toasted coconut, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, brown bread, vanilla, light coffee, light herbal, and roast/toasted earthiness. Light herbal hop and roast bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of milk chocolate, toasted coconut, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, brown bread, vanilla, and roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, coconut, and light earthy hop flavors; with a great roast/hop bitter/sweet balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light-medium carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, fairly creamy/bready, and slightly sticky/chalky balanced mouthfeel that is good. A little thin, but not too bad. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very nice coconut porter style. All around good complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, coconut, and light earthy hop flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink. This had restrained but still very noticeable coconut presence, which I really liked. A very enjoyable offering.

Can. Deep brown body with no head. Light aroma of roasted grain and coconut. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly bitter. Thin to medium body, watery texture, moderate carbonation. Taste of light roast, coconut. Off-putting metallic finish.
