More goodness in a can, out of Hawaii. Aloha to me on this one. This beer was just an outstanding surprise, and way over my expectations. Pours a nice deep ruby / amber with golden head. Aroma is filled with nice flavorful coconut. Anybody who has had fresh coconut, self cut with a cutlass will know what the fresh flavor is like will love this beer. Notes of light malts and chocolate. Taste is just filled with well done coconut, again with same process as above, this tastes like a freshly cut coconut, gives you this thick chunky mouthfeel that you get from opening a fresh coconut. There is also some good roasted malts, with a nice light chocolaty finish. Though low in abv, this porter sure sounds more like a good stout. Purely amazing, well crafted.
