Year of New Beer: Wake Me Up Before You Coconut Porter, Rock House Brewing (Lexington)

Written By: Dion on 06/04/2020
Up until the last day or so, this can represented the latest iteration of RH Brewing's coconut porter. My sources tell me that the newer version features even more coconut. I'm not sure how that's possible, but I'll undoubtedly subject myself to it in the days to come. For science, of course. Chocolate, light coffee bean, and some toasted coconut on the nose. On the tongue is more of a cocoa powder initially, softening to a sweeter chocolate as the coconut kicks in. Slightly roasty malts with a really solid coconut note all the way through the finish. I'm a local brewery homer, but I'd put Rock House's base Coconut Porter up against anybody's and I'm confident it could hold its own. Can't wait to try the newer, coconuttier(?) version!
