Bottled. Deep rubyish brown colour with a mediumsized creamy off-white head, which leaves some lace and lasts for a good while. Aroma is chocolate, some coconut, mild herbal notes with some nutty and slight roasted notes as well. Flavour is chocolate, coconut, some nutty and mild roasted notes. A bit tobacco in the finish too along with the chocolate and roast.

Tap at Brody’s. Black with fluffy light tan head. Sweet chocolatey and toasted and roasty coconut. Quite sweet and moderate bitter, bit rusty and light sour. Medium body and soft carbonation. Not very nice. But decent.

Medium brown color. Nose of chocolate and coconut with some sourness. Taste is more astringent and sour than what I would imagined. I think/hope there was some issues with the beer, as it wasn't impressive.

Porter by Caldera with toasted coconut chips and chocolate. Creamy, pale yellowish beige, lightly lacing, medium thick head, deep ruddy bronze-brown colour, blackish but still completely translucent, with a warm coppery tinge. Aroma indeed reveals some toasted coconut - though not quite as much as I was expecting or hoping for (I love it), embedded in impressions of hazelnut shells, black bitter chocolate, dried figs, 'natural' haemoglobin-like iron, liquorice candy, vanilla beans, tea, dried apple peel. Sweet onset, candied date, immediately countered by a sourish undercurrent, softish carbo, smooth oily mouthfeel, slick but a tad thinnish for a 6+% ABV beer perhaps. Hazelnutty and peanutty malt bittersweet body with thin metallic edges, thin layer of bittering black chocolate towards the end, toasted coconut effect again noticeable but relatively subtle - even more so than in the nose, herbal tea-ish hop bitter accent, coffeeish roasted bitter touch all the way at the back. Decent like all Calderas - but also like other Calderas, this could have been a bit more expressive and outspoken for me, especially the coconut element.

8/IX/17 - 1Pt. 6Fl. Oz. bottle @ home with Alengrin - BB: n/a (2017-1486) Thanks to Alengrin for sharing the can!

Clear dark reddish brown beer, big creamy beige head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: soft roast, some chocolate, quite some coffee. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: bit sourish start, lots of coconut at start, pretty bitter, some dried fruits, bit infected? Acidic touch. Aftertaste: vanilla notes, bit sweet, coconut touch, some cherries caramel. Decent stuff, but not sure if the acidity is intended.

Bottle from Biernavigatie, large sample. Slight hazy brown color, medium frothy head. Aroma of slight coconut, some roast, caramel, bit milk or white chocolate, slight smoke. Taste has some roasty bitterness, bit sweet mik chocolate, slight tartish coconut milk. Quite dry in the finish. I like it even more creamy and bounty candybar like, but still very enjoyable.
