Jan 3, 2010 Can’t say that there’s a whole lot going on here. Appearance is the strongest point. Taste is somewhat generic or bland but inoffensive, a little breezy on the finish. Tasting blind I would have no idea what to make of this other than that it’s some kind of sweetened dark ale.

Jan 3, 2010 12 oz can courtesy of Secret Santa ’09. Dark brown pour with a full creamy textured beige head. Head slowly recededs leaving random lace. Aroma is malt, chocolate and coconut. Palate is moderate in body with a smooth texture. Flavor is mild chocolate, malt with a bit of coconut. Unique and very good.

Jan 1, 2010 12 ounce can from BevMo ($10.99 for 4-pack). Pours mostly black with big thick tan head. Aroma of chocolate fudge and cocoa powder, toasted coconut (yes, it’s there), and roasted malt tones. The flavor has more of that rich chocolate fudge, some coffee, and slightly burnt malt notes. Lightly sweet, but I did not get much coconut in the flavor which is unfortunate as I really like coconut. Feels on the light side -- I think there is room here for them to ramp up the ABV and make the thing heavier. And put more coconut in!

Jan 1, 2010 Aroma is of coconut with a hint of molasses and chocolate. Dark brown in color with a tan head. Seems to be more carbonated and thinner than most other porters. Tastes of dark chocolate, coffee and a bit of coconut. A little bit of an alcohol start with a slightly hoppy finish. More bitter than I expected.

Jan 1, 2010 12oz can from mom and dad’s trip to Maui. 1-inch tan head diminishes quickly with no lacing. Not black, maybe burnt toast colored. Roasty, toasty mild alcohol notes on the nose. Slightly sweet, toasted coconut up front and then chocolate malts. A nice, slight bitter coconutty finish leaves you wanting more. Coconut comes to the front as the beer warms up, never overpowering though. Creamy mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Alcohol present in the aroma, but none in the taste. Another great beer from Maui. Big thanks to my parents for the hookup.

Dec 30, 2009 I did this beer the disfavor of drinking it from a plastic cup. Pours black with a tan head. Nose is chocolate and coconut. Taste is roasted malts, and again the sweet coconut comes through very nicely. Very drinkable and smooth. Excellent execution of a unique idea.

Dec 26, 2009 12 oz. Can: Pours a coffee black with a frothy tan head that leaves nice lacing. Has small hints of coconut in the aroma and chocolate flavor. Texture is creamy with a mild dry finish. Delicious!

Dec 21, 2009 Pours from 12 oz can a dark cola brown with thick, foamy head. The nose is cocoa, roasted malt, and just a hint of coconut. The flavour is toasted malt up front with a touch of chocolate. There is the slightest touch of coconut in the finish, which is also quite dry. Definitely had that Mounds candy character going on, great porter.
