An atypical, but nearly extraordinay invention from Hales. Black with a coconut ring of head. The aroma and flavor speak of coconut coated German blackforest cake. A solid base porter with chocolate, coffee, and deep vinous notes accentuated by the vein of coconut. Well done!

On tap at Kate’s in Wallingford. Black w/ medium head. Roasted malt and coconut aroma. Taste is bitter coconut, light roasted malt and a little chocolate. I was really looking forward to this one and was a bit let down. It was good, but too much bitterness to mix with the coconut left an odd finish. Still enjoyed, but could be tweaked in the future.
