LONGMONT, Co., BREVARD, N.C. and AUSTIN, Tx. - The
nut is back. Oskar Blues Brewery's cult classic Death By Coconut Irish
Porter returns to store shelves and taps across the nation this month.
Death
by Coconut (6.4% ABV/25 IBUs) is a semi-sweet porter made from loads of
dark chocolate and extra dark caramel malt. It pours a rich velvet
black with a frothy head and exudes intense fresh cacao flavors swirled
with popping coconut aromas.
"Take
a porter with crème brulee, burnt sugar, and rich caramel profile and
blend it with heaps of coconut and chocolate and Death by Coconut is
born," said head of brewing operations Tim Mathews. "The chocolate
comes from Cholaca - a Boulder, ColoRADo-based company bringing in fair
trade cacao and liquefies it. We then swirl the Cholaca around in the
finished beer and drop it on top of tons of coconut to create a crazy
delicious beer treat."
Cholaca
is a form of pure liquid chocolate that contains only three
ingredients: cacao, water and coconut sugar. Cholaca adds a rich and
smooth chocolate touch that makes this beer liquid perfection. Using
only fair-trade cacao beans sourced from select farms in Ecuador and
Peru, Cholaca gives it the most authentic flavor kick.
Death
by Coconut, awarded the 2014 GABF Silver Medal in the Chocolate Beer
category, hits shelves nationally in 4-packs of 12-ounce CANS and on tap
at your favorite bar beginning this month. Search our Beer Finder for
