I have heard an incredible amount of good things about the beers from Maui Brewing Co. Now, I try not to judge a beer before I've had it, but it's hard not to have high expectations with Maui Brewing's Coconut Porter. It has won medals in many beer competitions, including the World Beer Cup, United States Open Beer Championship and the San Diego International Beer Competition. Arrowine in Arlington, VA had 4-packs of the Coconut Porter, and I picked some up without a second thought! Let's check the stats on this beer, and see if it lives up to the hype! Maui Brewing Co.

The tan head diminishes a bit, but leaves a nice amount of creamy head on top of the beer. There are lots of tiny carbonation bubbles rising up...
