grant (767), Martinez, California, USA Jul 11, 2008 12 oz. can courtesy of DYCSoccer17. Medium brown color, average head formation/retention. Coffee aroma, light hints of coconut, malted milk. Round, roasty malts with very light acidity, slightly more coconut and plenty of chocolate. Very creamy mouthfeel, subdued carbonation. Tends to be very pleasing early in the sip and then develop a rather raw harshness after swallowing. Could be the coconut, I suppose. Overall, nicely done.
bgburdman9 (747), Columbus, Ohio, USA Jan 7, 2009 Old rating. Aroma of chocolate and maybe some coconut i think. I couldnt tell if it was actually coconut that i was smelling. A very smooth to drink beer though. sauceyhops (49), carlsbad, California, USA Jan 3, 2009 Dark brownish-orange pour with respectable head. Roasty aroma with hints of caramel. The flavor is mostly of malts and roast nuts with a hint of baked coconut. It drink very easily and is fairly complex in mouthfeel. nqualls (633), Tennessee, USA Jan 1, 2009 On tap and from a can. Poured a dark brown/black with a one finger brown head. Aroma of roasted malt and a little coconut, but not much on the nose. Flavor was roasted malt, chocolate and a good bit of coconut. Mouthfeel was very creamy. DubC5000 (162), San Diego, California, USA Dec 29, 2008 Coconut, malt and chocolate milk aroma. Tastes like chocolate milk too, with a complex coconut and tobacco aftertaste. Smoky. Translucent dark brown in color. Love it. JCB (1191), Durham, North Carolina, USA Dec 24, 2008 12oz can from my Secret Santa. Thanks, Santa. Appealing dark pour, with some crisp carbonation and a modest head. Not much coconut in the aroma initially, but it is certainly there and the subtlety is appreciated. Base beer is strong, with modest roasted and chocolate malts blending into a very drinkable porter with a modest body. The toasted coconut is really nice, actually, and complements the porter well. I would like slightly strong roasted and bitter qualities, but that may just be my preference. Overall, very nice.
