Can @ Mondial 2010. Aroma is chocolate and coffee, dark brown, smidge of tan head. Flavour of coconut isn’t appreciated, cocoa and coffee too. Light bodied, sweet. Average.

Pours a dark black/brown with tan head that dissapates to a ring. Smell is some swetness, dark malts, caramel, coffee. Immediate robust roasted malts, coffee, dark bitter chocolate, and then a bit of the sweetness from the coconut shows up in the finish. As it warms the coconut lends to an more oily texture and compliments the hearty roast of the porter. Great porter.

Pours a dark coffee brown with robust tan head and no lacing. The nose is toasted coconut. The taste is wonderful! Roasted malt, chocolate, and just the perfect amount of a coconut influence. There is a long lasting roasted aftertaste. This is a very smooth and full mouthfeel. Extremely drinkable. A winner. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Can - Toasted coconut nose with bittersweet chocolate notes. Opaque black with tan long lasting head. Think Bounty chocolate bar in a can. Creamy mouthfeel and a great tasty out of the ordinary porter.

A great concept. Create a decent porter with nice chocolate and toffee notes, add toasted coconut and viola- a classic beach beer. Not syrupy at all, but a full mouthfeel and great flavor. Pretty pour with a tannish, lasting head. Helps if your feet are in the sand while inbibing this treat.

Deep chocolate colour with a good collar of mocha coloured head. The aromas from the get go (Ie. straight out of the fridge and into a glass) are of charry roast barley and even coconut grated, dried and thrown in. This isn’t silly, I might try it myself. This beer isn’t pungent, more fragrant. It’s aromas are subtle but inviting. The flavour smacks heavily of the coconut and to be fair, this works really, really well. It is slightly creamy in flavour and reminds me of so many Thai green curries I have had (Not a bad match that, must try later). This may be a one trick pony, but it works so well. The finish just gets creamier and more mellow as it sits. It hasn’t the longest endurance of any stout I have tried, but this beer is a must try and one I’ll be having a crack at to brew myself.

Poured into a bruery tulip. Black with a thin tan head that quickly dissipates into a ring around my glass. Aroma of smokey malts coffee and some vanilla notes. Taste is more subdued than the nose, the smoke is there, very light coconut notes and finishes with coffee. Mouthfeel is smooth but maybe a little over carbonated. Pretty good, I was hoping for more coconut but it’s not a bad all around porter

Pours almost opague black with tan head. Aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, and faint coconut. Taste is outstanding. Dark chocolate, soy sauce, toffee, and coconut. My favorite Hawaiian beer.

Can at home. Black with a large brown head. Aromamedium malty (roasted, licorice, dark chocolate, coffee), notes of coconut. Flavor medium sweet and bitter, in a good balance. Medium body.

Small beige head. Nearly opaque black body. Intense milky chocolate aroma with coconut, earth, and vanilla notes. Dry, and faintly acidic, roasty chocolatey taste with earthy notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft, mealy mouthfeel. Dry-acidic chocolate and coconut aftertaste with perfumy burnt notes. Well, not bad, but too dense and perfumy. (0.33l can at Håndverkerstuene, Oslo.)

Can. Pours a very dark brown with medium beige head. The aroma is a roasted malt and cococnut. Medium mouthfeel with a smokey malt and strong coconut flavor. Easy to drink a very good porter from Maui.
