Omni Muddy Runner Coconut Porter

Omni Brewing Muddy Runner Coconut Porter. 5.8% ABV. Omni Brewing, Maple Grove, MN.

Solid brown body with ruby highlights, slim brownish head.

In the nose: Sweet, nutty, coconut. Yup, it's there. Much malt beneath.

In the mouth: Boom! Coconut from the start, rich and sweet and tasty. Medium body, good drinking. Long lasting coconut flavor. Cocoa, maple syrup, molasses, nuts, other flavors at play. Sweet, balanced, low bitterness. Damn good beer.

As for me, I don't normally like coconut in my porter, but you know what? It ain't bad. Not at all. In fact, it's pretty good. In fact, damn good, as I said before.

MUDDY RUNNER
Toasted coconut in the fermenter give this Porter a coconut nose and sweet coconut finish that is not overbearing. All combining with a light body to make this so much more than a dessert beer.

Or, "Ever want to go out and just play in the mud? MUDDY RUNNER is a dark, but lighthearted, Coconut Porter. A collection of malts rolling happily in the mud with a dash of Cascade hops. This is one savvy coconut that even surprises those who aren't fans of the cc-nuts. Get off that well-worn pavement and dive into a MUDDY RUNNER. All Beer, No Pretense. omnibrewing.com, Maple Grove, MN."
