Swans Brewery – Coconut Porter Review

Victoria’s Swan’s Brewery has released their seasonal Coconut Porter in bottles. This, Victoria favourite brew comes in a bomber bottle and measures in at 6.0% alcohol. Pouring the beer it is a deep and dark brown colour and is topped with two fingers of lightly lacing head. The nose has notes of chocolate, roasted coconut and mild caramel. It is rich and smooth on the nose. Sipping the beer it is fairly light bodied for a porter. Initially, a toasted malt character with light chocolate hits the palette and leads into the coconut flavour. A mild sweetness grows along side the coconut leading into a mild, hop finish. This is a delicious, flavourful beer that is simultaneously quite light and easy drinking. A great, tropically inspired porter.
