Our beloved Imperial Coconut Porter aged in Rum, Woodford Reserve, Heaven Hill, Four Roses Bourbon, and Brandy barrels is treasured by the most discriminating craft beer connoisseurs. Rested on toasted coconut chips following the barrel aging, this rare beer offers a pleasant mouthfeel and distinct notes of oak, vanilla, chocolate, caramel, and warming spice. The malt profile lends coffee and chocolate characteristics.

Tap at Cap Tap. Pours dark brn/blk with a tan head. Aroma is toasty coconut, smooth dark malt, maybe some chocolate, with light rum notes. Fullish body. Flavor is toasted coconut, hint of musty wood, definite rum with heat. It is tasty stuff.

Tastes like lagered roast. Pours black with good head and lacing. Caramel. A little syrupy for my liking. Tap at Savor.
