On tap at the brewery. Very dark brown. Creamy tan head. Looks great. Nose is all toasted coconut and dark chocolate. Soft vinous notes. Taste has some roasted bitterness with a soft, vanilla sweetness running through. Light bodied and exceptionally drinkable. Super stuff.

Can from jredmond. Pours dark brown with a creamy foamy beige head. Aroma of chocolate and coconut. Med body or so. Flavor is very nice earthy, dark chocolate, with vanilla and coconut. Amazingly so. Nice stuff. Not dry, but it doesn’t have to be!

Had several samples at the brewery, poured into a sample glass.
The appearance was dark brown capped with a finger’s worth of tan head that quickly dies off. No lacing.
The smell started off with a light bitter to roasty coffee bean and added a light coconut and cocoa blend.
The taste was mainly roasty with a nice ample bitter and then the sweet coconut to balance. There’s no aftertaste but it had a quick semi-dry roasty finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a pretty good sessionability about it. Carbonated as an American Porter, delicate roast takes over as it runs over my tongue.
Overall, American Porter with coconut, well, it sure is fitting and taking it one step further - Hawaiian styled porter, well I haven’t had too many of those, still this is one I’d definitely get again.

Can 50cl @ RBBSG III, courtesy of Thirstybird. De couleur brune léger, col beige. Arôme est malté léger sur un côté caramel, le tout étant ponctué par un agréable bouquet de noix de coco. Léger poudreux rappelant les flocons de coco. Palais est malté, caramel, pointe de cacao très léger avec un profil de noix de coco venant adoucir un peu le tout tout en apportant une pointe d’exotisme. Sympa, facile à boire et sur la même alignée que la Maui Coconut Porter.

500 ml. can sampled @ RBBSG III. Thanks to thirstybird! Brownish & beige head. Touch metallic in the nose, light roast, cocoa, mocha, light milk chocolate. Taste is a bit thin & metallic, cacao, mocha, sugary, sweet, touch milk chocolate, faint fig, bit thin. Okay but not very impressive & not really picking up here any coconut.
