Ghost in the Shell

With a name that references the mythical ghost-monster Coco, the shell of the coconut is said to look like a human head, hence the name Ghost in the Shell (and we hear the anime is swell too). We brewed this Baltic style porter with 35# of non-sweetened house toasted coconut flakes, and lagered it for over 8 weeks! It pours the darkest of browns, almost black with a faint sienna highlight and a tan head that laces beautifully. Saccharine aromas of toasted coconut & bittersweet chocolate dominate the nose with a hint of lightly roasted coffee in the background. Flavors of baker’s chocolate and rich coconut on the velvety, round body which leans sweet until notes of molasses, baking spices, and a pleasant bitterness akin to oak tannins enter on the finish to bring everything into balance.
