Empyrean Beer Quest: Hawaiian Porter

Tried a pint of this today at Lazlo's South - thick & creamy, dark as night, the Hawaiian Porter is a great winter ale. According to the Lazlo's website, there coconut, chocolate, coffee and turbinado sugar. Ratebeer further describes it as having Kona coffee and cacao nibs. I'm going to have to go back and try another, since I didn't catch any of the coconut (thought there was some vanilla though). The coffee, however, was very evident. If you like your stouts and porters with coffee or chocolate added (as opposed to just getting the taste from the malted grain) - and I certainly do - this a beer for you.
