Aroma is pure mocha. Taste surprisingly mild. Very little coconut. Beautiful dark tan head implies a stronger dark malt profile than you get. Very drinkable for a dark 6.5%.

Pours jet black with fine, tan head.
Smell is roasted and a bit sweet. Notes of coconut, coffee, chocolate, chocolate sauce and brownie batter.
Taste is roasted with a sigh sweetness. Notes of coconut, coffee, brownies, chocolate sauce and some coffee grounds. Soft bitterness.
Mouthfeel is medium, smooth and well carbonated.
Overall, a very nice porter, where the coconut doesn't take over.

Can. 6.5% ABV. Almost black with a thick creamy tan head which recedes to a slick layer.
Describes itself as a coconut and coffee porter and this delivers in both smell and taste.
Sweet with a medium bitter finish.
Soft carbonation and feel.
Decent enough.

From a 330ml can.
L: Pours mainly black with a red hue. One finger of dark tan head reduces to a cap after a couple of minutes. Plenty of lacing.
S: Coffee syrup and desiccated coconut.
T: Semi-sweet coffee with coconut cream in the background.
F: Medium body. Some carbonation sting. A light coating in the finish.
O: Solid, highly drinkable porter. Coconut and coffee flavours are prominent but don’t overwhelm.

L- Dark, deep brown, bordering black. Mocha head
S- Sweetness, I guess this would qualify as a 'Milk Porter' in lieu of a milk stout.
T- Decadent. Not artificial like some coconut flavouring can have. Thinness of porter carried well.
F- Nothing special here. Standard porter feel.
O- Solid coconut porter.
