Brewgrass 2009 Pours clear brown, much lighter than I expect for a Porter. Very little coconut aroma, some malt. The flavor is also very light on the coconut and the Porter is weak. Thin, disappointing.

Growler courtesy of tpd975. Pours a nice clear mahogany with tan head. The aroma has a mild level of coconut, sweet malts, faint metal shavings and some nuttiness. The taste has full bold notes of coconut, coconut milk and skin, wow!, mixing with malts, some mild chocolate, a thin layer of highly roasted malts and mild nuttiness. It ends on the dry side. Tasty stuff.

Served on draft at the Bier Garden in Asheville, NC. Pours a vibrant orange color with a thin head. Fair head retention and lacing. Faint aroma of citrus hops and sweet sugary malts. Wow. Very bitter taste, with citrus and resin notes, as well as some bread. Medium bodied.

On draught at Barleys, Knoxville Feb 2005. Medium golden hued body, slight haze to it with a firm white head. Aroma has plenty of hops appeal as does the flavor and there is a typical caramel malt backing on this. Well-executed on all levels. Very drinkable, with a strong floral hops flavor that complements the honey-like sweetness of the beer well. Dry, bitter alpha hops finish, medium body, moderate carbonation.

Draught version. Good aroma and color opens for a beer with a very pleasing hoppy profile. Well balanced with a nice malt base. Hops follow through to the end. Good beer.

Good orange tint to a golden body, with a nice off-white head. Hoppy smell and slightly citrusey. Good overall taste with a little hoppy taste lingering on the palate for a while. Not a bad IPA!
