Coconut Hiwa Porter is Maui Brewing's most recognized beer, renamed from its original "CoCoNut PorTeR" label back in 2016 — the same year it reportedly took home Gold at the Great American Beer Festival. It's brewed with genuine hand-toasted coconut alongside dark and chocolate malts, bottled at 6% ABV and 30 IBU. Pour it and expect a cola-brown to black color under a thick tan head, with an aroma of semisweet dark chocolate and just a hint of coconut. On the palate, roasted malt and coffee-like bitterness lead the way, with dark chocolate running throughout and a hoppy spice balance on the finish. Here's the genuinely honest part: reviewers consistently note the coconut character is more subtle than the name suggests — several independent tasters specifically comment that they expected more coconut flavor and found it surprisingly light. That said, it remains a widely loved, well-reviewed beer overall, rated 3.7 out of 5 across more than 120,000 Untappd check-ins. Best served slightly warmer than fridge-cold to let the coconut and chocolate notes fully open up.
