Más Que Cevezas had a shipment of Sibeeria a while ago, a brewery I haven't had the pleasure of coming across for quite some time. Since the Sweet Baby Jesus incident, in fact. It's exciting to see new beers come in, but an old friend is also nice to see. I thought they would fly off the shelves, but there were a few left, of a couple of styles. A couple of IPAs and a porter. Ohhh, we all know which one I went with. It's a vanilla and coconut porter, at a very mild 4.7%, and I was told a very easy drinking brew.
It has a fairly thin appearance when poured, although the beige head is pretty frothy to start. It does diminish quickly. The strongest part of the aroma is definitely the coconut, it's almost like a piña colada. Even the underlying scents are slightly sour and tangy, giving the beer a tropical feel in the nose. The flavor is less tropical with the vanilla coming on strong, but the coconut still has a dominating presence. It's smooth although it feels almost...oily? Like coco butter I guess. It remains constant in flavor balance all the way through, a nice light but filling drink, at home under a beach umbrella or shabby chic bar chair.
Price: €5.07
