That coconut porter in this blend comes out strongest of all. Like 99% of this is coconut porter. With hints of rye and bourbon, vanilla and malt.

16 ounce can from Tavour. Number one full review with a bullet. Packaged on 09/17/2024. Opaque dark brown color. Finger-high tan head settles to a small ring. Aroma is oak, bourbon, coconut, vanilla and cocoa. First sip brings notes of sweet roasted malt, caramel, cocoa, oak, bourbon and coconut. Immensely complex, its flavor deepens as it warms. Very smooth despite the high ABV. Some astringent hops in the long finish.

Poured from 473mL can (2024 vintage; pkg 09/17/2024). Near black with minimal beige head. Vanilla and mild coconut with gentle barrel character, well balanced, enjoyable.
