Maui Brewing co. Coconut Porter


I like extreme flavors. Also weird. Weird flavors are kinda my thing. So naturally when I heard Maui brewing Co. was coming into the Maryland market with their "Coconut Porter" I had to try it, like now. As you might expect from the name Maui Brewing company is from Hawaii, Maui to be exact. Dedicated to the environment (cans) and to interesting beer. Their IPA is great as is their lager, but the beer I wanted was "Coconut Porter". I was expecting some kind of weird Pina Colada-esque beer atrocity that would be the kind of beer only I would like and would not be able to sell to anyone else. What I got was a darn good porter a really darn good porter. Rich chocolate and coffee flavors lightened by something--coconut perhaps? But not a lot of coconut, in fact if you hadn't told me that light refreshing flavor at the end of the palate was coconut, I probably wouldn't have figured it out. Anyway, I couldn't wait to taste it when we brought it in so I opened a can, and being the generous soul that I am I shared. We sold out in 45 minutes. Try this beer.
