Maui Brewing Co.’s Imperial Coconut Porter won a gold medal at the 2016 Great American Beer Festival in the Field Beer category. A deeper, more intense version of the brewery’s flagship Coconut Hiwa Porter, Imperial Coconut Porter is brewed with hand-toasted coconut and offers subtle hints of cacao and coffee. The rich, slightly sweet, and malty ale pours with a dark tan head and drinks with a silky smooth yet warming finish.
