Venn Cocoanut Porter.
7% ABV. 20 IBU. Venn Brewing, Minneapolis, MN.
Thoroughly ebony, rich, roasted brown head above.
In the nose: sweet, malty, and then the cocoanut pops up. Perfectly likable.
In the mouth: Even sweeter, even cocoa-nuttier, holding court along with cocoa caramel malts. Touch of vanilla. Rich, robust body, full and vibrant. Lush and delicious. Cocoanut continues to dominate the flavor and it's just delightful. I would have definitely picked up a second crowler to take to Christmas dinner if this was a normal year, and not 2020.
Porter with actual chocolate & actual coconut.
Malts: Domestic Pale, Munich, Flaked Oats, Caramel 20, Chocolate, Roasted Barley, Special B
Hops: Warrior (United States)
Yeast: American Ale
And: Chocolate, Coconut, Lactose (NOT vegan)
Why the lactose, though? Can we try to keep milk out of beer?
