Full Fathom 5 is North Brewing's flagship porter. A bountiful of toasted coconut and whole coffee beans are both steeped in a rich porter made up of a variety of specialty malts making for a luxurious silk liquid. A family member we don't see often, but when we do, we're full of love and warm fuzzy feelings.

Can: Poured a pitch black with thin tan head. Aroma is nice strong coffee with a vanilla and coconut. Taste is super strong coffee and roasted malts, leave way to some nice light non-artificial tasting coconut.

Can. Black; a tan head fades to less than a coat. 3- Aroma of mocha, firm roast, some licorice, coconut that could almost be part of the coffee. Just medium bodied, lowish carbonation. Rather less intense taste than expected - really quite lightly flavoured. Not all that sweet with chocolate, ash, nice coffee, light caramel and a brief drying finish. Pleasant but underwhelming.

Can at home. Pours very dark brown, with an intense head at the begin. Aroma is very restrained in my opinion, I mostly get some dark malts and old coffee. Light to medium body, but feels mostly a bit too light for me. Flavour could be maltier for me, it maybe is quite sweet in general but without corresponding body. Then you get a lovely balanced coffee and roast flavour that comes out, which saves this beer. Maybe some coconut, but the coffee is the dominant flavour here; Rwandan coffee somewhat noticeable, as there are some interesting hints to the coffee, some berry and spice notes. Finishes dry, quite bitter and roasty. A decent coffee porter, definitely a nice showcase of the coffee, but a bit imbalanced in my opinion.
