Maui Brewing Coconut Porter

If you love coconut and chocolate you'll love this. Blend of cocoa/chocolate malt and toasted coconut. Near 7% alcohol adds an almost liqueur twist to this smooth and drinkable experience. Hops are accented at very cold temperatures. Malt and coconut accented at temperatures above 50ºF—which is recommended serving temperature. Spicy Thai coconut red curry with this coconut-enhanced porter is a marriage made in beer heaven. Gold medal award winner in the Herb & Spice category at the 2006 World Beer Cup. (Note: Maui Brewing Company doesn’t use flavorings for their coconut porter—real coconut is added to every batch.)

Sounds weird, but very interesting!
I saw this when I went to the Stone Brewery and wanted to try some but there were just so many Stone brews that I didn't get around to it. It does sound like something one would want to try.
