Coconut Porter

Tap to rate

Burning Soul has brewed this porter since its first year, 2016, and it still returns to the taps in Hockley. English malts, roasted coconut and Sorachi Ace hops go into the recipe. Dark chocolate and toasted coconut lead the aroma; on the palate roasted malt and chocolate come first, with a hint of coffee, and the toasted fruit comes back in a silky finish. At 7.0% it is a big porter, strong for the style.

◐ Taste

Roasted malt and chocolate arrive first on the palate, building warmth and depth. A hint of coffee emerges mid-palate, grounding the sweetness before the toasted coconut resurfaces in the swallow. Bitterness from the Sorachi Ace is restrained at 33 IBU, allowing the roasted and nutty character to dominate.

◑ Finish

Silky and lingering, with residual chocolate and toasted coconut gradually fading. The warming alcohol (7%) is well-integrated, leaving a dry, malty aftertaste that invites another sip.
