From the brewer
Maylani’s Coconut Stout is an easy drinking beer with the subtle aromas of chocolate and coconut, thanks to the 10 pounds of locally sourced cocoa nibs and fifty pounds of toasted coconut added to each batch. Ebony in color with a rich creamy head, the beer features a mellow flavor of oats, chocolate malt and real chocolate, perfectly balanced with the right amount of hops for a bittersweet finish. Featuring an approachable 35 IBUs and 5.4 percent ABV, it pairs well with almost any dessert, and of course, tastes delicious just on its own.

Okay, I'm sold that draft is definitely the way to have this one. It's still good out of the can, but the coconut is faint at best.
I liked this before, but lots more toasted coconut & coffee character out of the tap means even more like.
More coconut flavor on draft, yes! The canned version has more of the roasted chocolate taste but the draft version has more coconut body, more middle flavor, and less overall bitterness. The coconut is a pleasant roasted coconut sheen with some follow through on the finish.
If you take a good chocolate and remove all traces of sweetness. But barely any coconut.
Smells like a dark chocolate coconut candy bar and tastes about the same. That's not bad! I like those candy bars. This is a light-bodied stout that goes down easily but lacks the kind of bite I enjoyed in Maui's CoCoNut Porter. It's more kind of one-note sweet. All the flavors rang true and for a dessert-beer kind of situation, I'd happily have this again.
Coconut a la Almond Joy in the second half of the taste and in the smell. Thin taste profile with some metallic twang at the end-- almost watery. Some roasted bitterness present.
