Pahoehoe Coconut Stout

Pahoehoe is the Hawaiian word for the fast moving but smooth, ripply black lava flows seen in the islands.

This milk stout will erupt with roasted malt and coconut flavor, but be soft on the palate just the same. Perfect for a summer night on a moonlit Hawaiian beach (or in my back yard... one can dream though...)
