Stone Brewery Collaborative Coconut Porter

Posted on 17. Oct, 2009 by Ricky in Stone Brewery, Video Beer Reviews

We took a quick trip back to Stone Brewery for some more delicious brews. We are hoping to make this a monthly trip ;o) While we were there, we got the chance to enjoy a delicious collaborative beer that Stone Brewery, Maui Brewing and Ken Schmidt came together to create. This is a dark, chocolate, nutty, coconut porter. There are 3 different bottles and each has a story from the different breweries so make sure you check them all out if you get a chance.

The beer has 100% Kona Coffee and Macadamia nut. The beer was very dark and poured with excellent dark malty head. It has a very strong smell with higher alcohol than most porters. The beer had intense flavor with a strong coffee/espresso like taste topped off with a rich sweet nutty finish. It was better than we expected. If you like dark beers, coconut, chocolate, etc this is an excellent choice!

This beer was delicious. We may not have sounded super excited about this beer but I would drink this pretty often if I could. The creamy, dark, sweetness of this beer make it perfect for the colder seasons. I think it would make a delicious beer float. I would use vanilla bean ice cream or coconut to really bring out the flavor. Try this delicious beer cold and then warm it up a bit with your hands. It has waves of delicious flavors. Thanks Stone Brewery, Maui Brewing and Ken Schmidt for this delicious collaborative beer!
