Crux Fermentation Project’s Coco(a) Stout is a chocoholic’s dream. It comes packed with a triple dose of chocolatey goodness -- Chocolate Malts, cocoa powder, and "dry-hopped" cocoa nibs. It’s packed with layers of bittersweet roastiness and wrapped in the velvety embrace that Dark Beer fans covet.

By adding vanilla beans and toasted coconut, Crux boosts flavors of German Chocolate Cake -- but they dial back any heavy-handed sweetness, making this a Stout great for anytime drinking.

Aromas of coffee percolating on the woodstove rise to meet your nose. Dark chocolate weaves through each sip with subtle notes of caramel-drizzled figs, fudge-dipped macaroons, and Kahlúa-spiked hot cocoa. A silky, decadent mouthfeel cradles your palate before a dry, vanilla-kissed finish leaves you licking chocolate dust from your lips.

Crux serves this Stout to their taproom regulars by the pintful, especially on chilly nights when the kiddos are distracted by their mugs of Swiss Miss hot chocolate. Now you can drink like a Oregon local too -- Coco(a)’s roasty toasty 8% ABV will warm you up in no time.
