Our favorite porter with just a touch of the tropics. This Coconut Victory at Sea takes our popular Imperial Porter to another place. We added sweet roasted coconut to our robust porter brewed with Caffe Calabria coffee and vanilla, the perfect complement to this beer’s subtle roasty intensity. A favorite at our annual Victory at Sea Day, but it’s worth enjoying anytime you need to be transported.

Tap at Artut, Östersund. Gorgeous smell of coconut, like a bounty bar. Lovely colour. Taste is a bit off sweet-bitter-alco.

Ballast Point Coconut Victory at Sea 10% On tap at CBM Lucua. Cola black with a wisp of a tan head and ruby highlights. Big tropical fruity (papaya) coconut overlays the chocolate of the base beer in the aroma. It smells good but a bit artificial. The taste is similar with an almost perfumey fruity character on an abrasive carbonation. I get peach schnapps as much as coconuts from this. Pretty disappointing to be honest, not a fan as this seems highlight artificial. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
