Rich roast, malt sweetness, tropical rum barrels, and heaps of coconut. This porter is the perfect storm.

Dark brown, thin head. Boozy chocolate and rum aroma. On the palate a big boozy barrel note right up fruit, then chocolate, a touch of fruitiness and just a bit of coconut. The base beer I thought was too timid, but this is a bigger, better expression.

Smells of burning rubber, methyl ethel keytone, dried out motor oil, rubbing alcohol, some black lithographic crayons dumped in paint thinner, in general it's all coming off a mess. Has a dark blackish brown body and okay foam on top of it. Flavour is way too boozy, maybe there's some coconut in there but it's overpowered by this heavy nail polish remover hanging on to my tongue and burning it. Mouthfeel is this lingering piles of chemicals and there's also a barfable level of fusel alcohol sticking around. This is a cloying chemical mess.
