Brewer: Harpoon Brewery

Rating: ** (6.2 of 10)
Comments: This special Pilot beer, allegedly only available at the Harpoon Brewery, was on tap at the Granary Tavern in Boston. It seemed like it would be a unique beer, and it certainly was. As expected for a porter, it was a deep dark brown, although surprisingly my pint had no head and actually the beer seemed very flat (perhaps a bad pour?). I could only smell a faint hint of coconut, but it was definitely in the flavor along with a bitter dark chocolate taste and a velvety mouthfeel. The porter seemed to be strong in alcohol and more like a strange cocktail than a beer in many ways. An interesting beer experience, but not one that will go down as a favorite.
