This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a dark brown close to black color with a one finger white to off white foamy head that dissipated within less than a minute. Light messy lacing arranges nicely around the glass.
The smell started off with the roasty coffee and chocolate notes and as it warmed coconut lightly touched it up to balance.
The taste was semi-sweet through the chocolate allowing the coffee to arrange itself with the coconut. It keeps its roastiness nicely all throughout. There’s a light coconut to roasty coffee aftertaste leading to a semi-dry coconut finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a decent sessionability about it. Carbonation runs low allowing the beer to produce a cake-like feel on my tongue.
Overall, good beer, executed nicely. Though the coconut is subtle, its a nice offering from this brewery.

Paid $5.99 for a 650 ml bottle. Pitch black color with an oily shine across the top of the porter. Aroma is cotton candy hints, subtle coconut and burnt chocolate malt. Flavor is mildly roasty with weak traces of coconut through the center of the beer. Some burnt barley notes. Little to no bitterness with a sweet finish. Body is about right for the style thinner side of medium. Mostly well executed beer.
