I actually tried this one because it comes in a 4 pack on a day I didn’t want to drink more than that. Now, that’s a drawback and the only beer I have reviewed that comes that way. It is obviously a little more expensive to make, so instead of raising the price, they lowered the amount. Not a bad plan if the beer is good. Luckily for Maui Brewing Co., this one is.
I think coconut is a wonderful addition to a local Porter. The other two I have tried were also very nice! This one is interesting in its own right but the coconut comes through a little better in the one I reviewed from Big Island Brewhuas. The other is from Kona and is only a seasonal, which I think is a mistake as it is better than many of their normal fare.
This one pours black and has a nice aroma of coconut and chocolate. Nicely carbonated and a very nice Porter from a brewery I have come to respect. I have yet to find something I don’t like from Maui Brewery like I have from the other Hawaiian brewers.
I buy this one often when I want a nice brew but don’t feel like a six pack kind of day. I recommend it to anyone who can find it. Enjoy this nice dark beer!
COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Our Coconut Porter is a classic robust porter spiced with all natural toasted coconut. It is black in color and crowned with a creamy, dark tan head. It begins with a malty-toasted-coconut aroma followed by a rich, silky mouthfeel with tastes of dark malt, chocolate, and hints of coffee. It then finishes with flavors of toasted coconut and hoppy spice to balance the finish.
