I have a chocolate porter in the primary right now, and decided to add coconut to it.
All I can find is Bakers Sweetened coconut, and I didn't know if its flavor would turn my porter into a syrupy-tasting mess or not (the porter is already riding on the sweet side (1/2 lb. Special B and 1/2 lb of crystal 40 was used with only 30ibu's to balance her out).
I will be toasting the coconut regardless, so I'm not worried about infecting the beer, just worried about the flavor. I was also planning on adding an honest pound of coconut, so I wouldn't mind hearing some first-hand experience in this department either.
As always, thank you for any info you can pass my way! I'll post the recipe down the road...if it turns out
