On tap at FITR. Poured deep brown with no head. Nose was huge coconut, molasses, hints of cocoa. Flavor was intense coconut, sun tan lotion, caramel, ash and chocolate.

On draft at Cigar City for Fruit in the Room. Pours a dark porter brown with a white-ish head. Nose is slight roast, some chocolate, some spice, but a lot of toasted coconut. Mellow tropical coconut in the nose. Flavor is similar with some chocolate but lots of coconut and a hint of spice. Nice coconutty porter, light in body and finishing with lingering roasted coconut.

Poured at Fruit in the Room, a dark brown color with little tan head. Aromas of coco, coconut, and malt. Tasted like a regular porter, mainly coco, earth, and malt. The coconut was in there, but way less than I hoped for and expected.

Fruit in the Room 2011. This one had an interesting nose with coconut sweetness mixed with earthy porter tones and some hops and light chocolate. Poured like most porters do - dark with a light brown head. Taste was pretty good but I think the coconut was overshadowed by the malts and hops. Could have benefited from more coconut but still very good and refreshing for a porter.
