13, August 2016: Darkness will fall on Madison, WI as K'Paui Coconut Porter makes its maiden voyage at The Great Taste of Midwest Beer Festival on August 13, 2016.

The new craft beer flavor by Bent Kettle Brewing is a Baltic style coconut porter reported to taste like a Mounds bar. The special advance preview taste test is available only to the beer festival attendees. The new craft beer named K'Paui has moved into the Bent Kettle mass production schedule with a planned release date of August 19th, 2016.

According to Bent Kettle founder and brew master Mark Cook, it "tastes like a dark chocolate Mounds bar in a glass but without all the extra sugar. People have been going wild for it at festivals."

They will be showcasing it next Saturday (8/13/16) at The Great Taste of the Midwest, which is the world's 2nd largest beer festival. All told, there will be about 10,000 people there. The official release date of K'Paui is August 19th and will be on tap at Mr. Brews Taphouse in Monona, WI for 6 days until Bent Kettle begins distribution of the special brew to other bars and restaurants. Cook says K'Paui in cans will be appearing in liquor stores before Labor Day weekend.
