Canned, thanks Bolagshataren! Cloudy amber, small head. Aroma of lychee and gooseberry. Sweet and perfumy, solid but very sweet. Very bitter finish with notes of pine needles and shampoo. Impressive, but too sweet.

33 cL can, thanks to BierKönig. Pours dark and thick, almost black and with a huge chocolate brown head. Aroma is sweet and roasted with a soft note of chocolate, I don’t sense the coconut at all. Mouthfeel is vevelt soft, creamy. Very smooth chocolate flavour with some liqourice bite towards the finish. The beer remains soft into the finish but softly allows some bitterness to shine through. I may sense some coconut beneath the chocolate and in the smoothness, but it is by no means easy to tell. Very nice brew.

(Can 35,5 cl) Courtesy of Bierkönig. Pours black and opaque with a creamy, light brown head. Lightly burned malt aroma with an edge of coconut. Medium body with an edge of lightly sweet, burned malt and some discreet but absolutely present coconut accents that aren’t stickingly sweet but actually quite refreshing in a piquant manner. There’s a lightly bitter malt astringency in the finish. Quite interesting. 131007

Pours a very deep mahogany with a medium, tan head. Aroma is pretty heavy on the roasted malts, coffee, toasted coconut, molasses, and chocolate. Medium, sliky smooth body. Mmm. Roasted malts, chocolate, coffee, some toasted coconut, and a mild molasses finish. I like the coconut in this porter, though I wish it was a bit more pronounced in the flavor. The flavors sorta fall apart in the finish, with it ending a little too bittersweet. I actually did enjoy this porter, though.

I debated buying a CAN of this for a good five minutes, decided to give it a try. Pours a nice looking hazy orange with a medium, fluffy head. Aroma strikes me quick and strong. HOPS! Pine, citrus, grapefruit is heavy, some sweet malts in the back, as well. O man, the flavor does not dissapoint. Strong hop bite. Grapefruit, pine and the caramel malts return with a small appearance. Smooth, but with plenty of bite...if that makes sense. An excellent IPA, especially on this hot Tokyo afternoon. This beer may have cured my can reservation.

I just walked into Starbucks and smelled their latest Frapaccino, Coconut Chocolate. Not too sweet. Roasted coconuts in the mouth. Not well balanced. Not enough hops. Coconut chocoloate finish. Japanese coconut porters kill this.

Help someone has just taken a sack of dry hops and put it over my head. I see, hear and feel nothing but EKG. I love it. The most defined hop aroma I have ever smelt on a beer. And people slam cans???? Very big hoppy mouth, with a malt backbone, but efforts seem to be in the aroma and not in the bitterness. Just kinda falls apart at the end from being the best IPA ever.

Can. Amber beer with a huge off-white head. Big grapefruit aroma with some pine and caramel. Grapefruit and pine flavor with big caramel backing - hops aren’t as flavorful or as bitter as in the aroma. Medium body. Lingering grapefruit with a bit of earthiness. Nice.

Can as an exra from fordest. Pours black with a small head that turns into a hairline halo lacing. Aroma is weird at first, lots of toastiness and roast. But then comes this weird zing of fruitiness thats very sharp, must be he coconut. Taste is less on the weird cocnut and more traditionally a roasty robust porter. Finish has that sharp fruitiness that almost reiminscent of barrel aging. Definitely enjoyable but no more than one.
