BJCP 2021 Style 30A Spiced, Herb and Vegetable Beer I decide to brew this after tasting a can of Maui Brewery-Coconut Porter.
I've brewed it many times and always had great feedback. Quote from Gregg Irwin (founding partner of Weird Beard) - "liquid bounty heaven".

It also won me my first competition medal!

To achieve a great coconut flavour you need to gently toast it before adding it to secondary.
I will warn you though that miniscule pieces of coconut can slip through into the final product which cause nucleation sites when you bottle. So if you bottle, don't keep them for too long!
