English: It is said that that the first Europeans to experience the impact of a falling coconut were a group of Portuguese sailors. Under the command of Duarte Barbosa, captain of the Victoria on a voyage more than 500 years ago, a landing party was sent to investigate a small coral island in what is thought to be the present day Maldives. The crewmen however got utterly lost on the Island and decided to rest under an unknown palm tree. Sliding into an exhausted sleep they were quickly woken by what they first thought to be giant droppings from the infamous Brown Boobies, a giant seabird known to be a constant nuisance to sailors when out of a sudden they would fall from the sky in a Stuka-like attack fashion. Relieved they were, the poor sailors, when they realized they were under no booby attack, but simply the victims of falling coconuts. And ever since that day coconuts have been a very popular ingredient in foods as diverse as chocolate bars and Imperial Porters. Actually it’s on that very Maldive island the first Coconut Porter is said to have been brewed. And that dear friends is a true story.

Danish: Efter sigende var de første europæere, der oplevede styrken bag en faldende kokosnød, en gruppe portugisiske søfolk. Under ledelse af Duarte Barbosa, kaptajn på det gode skib Victoria på en rejse for mere end 500 år siden, blev et landgangshold sendt i bådene for nærmere at undersøge en lille koralø i det, der nu antages at være Maldiverne. Dog skete der det, at landgangsholdet i den grad for vild på den lille, frodige ø og besluttede sig for at overnatte under en ukendt art palmetræ.
Søfolkene gled ind i en udmattet søvn blot for hurtigt herefter at blive vækket af et bombardement af, hvad de antog var gigantiske, faldende fugleekskrementer fra den berygtede Brune Sule, en gigantisk havfugl, som var en kendt plage for søfolk, når den uden varsel dykkede fra himlen, i hvad der mest af alt lignede et Stuka-lignende styrtbombeangreb. Men lettede var de stakkels søfolk, da de opdagede, at de ikke var under angreb fra de Brune Suler, men simpelthen var ofre for kokosnødder, der faldt fra palmerne. Siden den tid har kokos været en populær ingrediens i fødevarer så forskellige som chokoladebarer og Imperial Portere. Faktisk var det efter sigende på præcis denne palmeø, at den første Kokos-Porter NOGENSINDE blev brygget. Og det kære venner, er en sand historie.

0.33 l bottle shared with Višnja 666 and Pilot Goran during a tasting session in the summer of 2017. Thanks! Purchased at Hoppiness Beer Shop, Koper, Slovenia. Dark brown to black, small tan head. Coffee, roasty, nutty, leather, dark malts, dark fruits, brown bread. Sweet, some coconut, dry and roasty finish. Medium body, sticky, moderate carbonation, medium finish. Although not very strong, this really feels like an imperial porter. Good job!

Bouteille 50cl. Brune foncée, col épais café au lait. Arôme de malt grillé, crystal, nez houblonné tirant sur les agrumes, point de fruit noir et léger noix de coco en rétro. Palais oscille entre la combinaison du malt grillé sur touche de café et des pointes de noix de coco ajoutant une légère douceur. Amertume d’agrumes, houblonné sur des houblons type C presque sur un effet de black IPA avec un rendu plus épais venant de l’avoine. Retrouve aussi le côté malté virant sur les fruits noir plus caractéristiques de porter impérial.

24/V/17 - 50cl bottle @ Erwin's Zythology Class of 2015 Graduation Ponton Tasting - BB: XII/2019 (2017-630) Thanks to the class for sharing the beers tonight!

Clear ruby purple to brown beer, creamy beige head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: bit dirty, yeast, lots of coffee, roasted. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: lots and lots of coffee first, metallic, coconut indeed, caramel, some dark chocolate. Aftertaste: lots of coconut, caramel, nice roast, some coffee, hoppy bitter finish with a sweet malty touch to it. Very decent, and I don't even like coffee.
