Commercial Description:
Pipeline Porter is smooth and dark with a distinctive roasty aroma and earthy complexity from its diverse blends of premium malted barley. This celebration of malt unites with freshly roasted 100% Kona coffee grown at Cornwell Estate on Hawaii’s Big Island, lending a unique roasted aroma and flavor. A delicate blend of hops rounds out this palate-pleasing brew.

I saw a six pack in one of the ABC Stores littered all around Waikiki and picked it up. Enjoyed a bottle on the beach and found it big on the Kona coffee flavor with some malt to it as well. Aftertaste is yummy with a substantial bit of coffee remaining behind. Smooth porter.

12 oz bottle from Bev4less. Pours an opaque black color with a small khaki head. The aroma is rich with coffee and a bit of mocha. The flavor is all coffee and nothing but coffee. The mouthfeel is medium malty. The finish is short with lingering coffee. Overall: As a coffee lover this beer really appealed to me, this despite its being rather one-dimensional. Recommended.

This was beer number 22 for me at beerfest. It was rich and smooth. Other than that, I can’t remember.
