Had I read the label properly, I wouldn’t have gone for this porter, as I do not like too much coffee flavours in beer. Now, having said that, it was not as bad as the label says. Oily, with chocolates and plum on the aromas, same on the flavour, plus the coffee and some nice roasted malt bitterness. "Llimited release"...great ginmmick. So limited we can get it in the South Island of New Zealand!!!

A killer porter with a Kona Coffee kick! Great, thick head that is delicious to drink through. Stands up well over time. Complex taste that evolves as it rolls over the tongue.

Kona Pipeline Porter pours clear dark mahogany with a creamy tan head
Superb coffee flavor and aroma. If you are not already convinced that Hawaiian coffee its about the best on the world, this beer may convince you. Fantastic coffee aroma and flavor with a perfect balance of sweet and bitter ...meaning less bitter than many (most?) coffee beers.
O: one of the best coffee beers I have had, especially if you direct your attention to the coffee component.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pitch black with a tanned, beige-looking head. Aroma is coffe, chocolate, almost ice cream (vanilla, maybe?) in a very interesting way, and dark, roasted malts. The taste is dominated by coffee and chocolate. A nice, interesting dry finish which indicates a fairly amount of hops in this. In general, you understand what they mean when they are promoting this as "with 100% Hawaiian Kona Coffee". The mouthfeel is medium, would have been even better if it was bigger. So far, the best I’ve had from Kona, definetily.
