Sisyphus Deaf by Coconut Stout

Sisyphus Deaf by Coconut Stout. 7.6% ABV. 30 IU. Sisyphus Brewing, Minneapolis, MN.

Full on darkness, rich, brown head, looking good.

In the nose: nutty, fruity, sweet, big blast of coconut. It's Co-co-nutty. big time. got to love it. Or not, your choice.

In the mouth: Rich, malty, delicious. hmmm, yeah. Plenty of the coconut. All is very mellow and good. Full-bodied, full flavored. Extra flavors drown out the roast and the toast. Coconut's alright in a porter, but only as a sometimes beer. Once in a little, little while. Great beer, don't get me wrong, just not one you'd consider for a session ale. Unless you're some kind of coconut freak. Weirdo.

We heard it from our Mom's, drink too much coconut and you'll go deaf. And it happened. This porter is loaded with 5 lbs of coconut per barrel, let it warm up a bit, maybe on a beach somewhere, before consuming to truly get the full coconut flavor.
