Bottle from a trade with CaptainHook. Pours dark brown/black color with tan head. Coffee and vanilla aromas up from with some roasted malt and a slight hint of coconut. Similar flavors with the coffee and vanilla predominant. Medium to full body with moderate carbonation. Thanks Jeremy.

22oz bottle. Thanks Ben! Aroma has large amounts of coffee and coconut in well balanced notes. Light vanilla and roast notes with moderate chocolate character. Hints of caramel, toffee and toasted bread with a light nuttiness. Pours dark brown with brown highlights on the edges. Medium sized, moderately thick, dark tan head that displays pretty good head retention, especially considering it contains coconut. Light lacing and moderate legs. Flavor has moderate chocolate and roast notes with medium light coffee and light coconut. Faint vanilla with medium light dark fruit esters. As it warms the coconut, coffee and vanilla are a bit more noticeable. Moderate nuttiness with medium bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a bit of stickiness and moderate carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall a pretty nice porter with just enough coconut and coffee to be noticeable but not so much that the underlying beer isn’t able to be appreciated. The vanilla is hardly noticeable though.

Draft. Pours black with a roasted coffee aroma. A lot of chocolate all over this one. The vanilla is a nice touch, however I think it makes this too sweet. That is the one downside to this beer for me. Sweet coffee with creamer finish. Overall, a good beer.
