‘Cocoa Shake BA’ - Pre-order - 13.8% ABV - 500ml bottle - Barrel Aged Stout - ETA late-October

Welcome to ‘Pre Orders!’ This is where you can snag super rare beers from your favorite breweries before we’ve managed to get our hands on them — often before they’re even bottled! 

A few things to know:

• Check out the "Pre Orders" tab on the "My Crate" page — that’s where you can secure your stash of upcoming releases.
• If you don’t have an open crate, a new one will open as soon as your pre-ordered beer lands. Don’t worry, we’ll let you know when it happens!
• Most of these beers will sell out in pre-order and won’t be available for regular purchase. Miss them now, and you might never see them again.

[If you think the idea of chocolate whiskey sounds appealing, this Stout is for you! And when a rarity like this brew from Mikkeller comes around (which doesn’t happen often), you know you have to act fast. Stout fans aren’t going to let such a decadent sip slip away!

The Beer:

The crew at Mikkeller channeled their inner Willy Wonka to create the rivers of chocolate that flow through this decadent, 4.35 UT-rated Stout. And, like Augustus Gloop, you’re going to want to dive in head first!

The brewers added rich vanilla beans and piles of cacao nibs to their base Stout, then aged it in bourbon and rye barrels! It’s thick and rich, with plenty of barrel character on the front end and a fudgy finish. If you want some, you don’t have to win any contests or survive a factory tour with a candy-crazed maniac. We’ve got your golden ticket right here.

The Brewery:

Mikkeller is among the most celebrated craft breweries on the planet. Originally founded in Denmark and operated as a nomadic brewery, Mikkeller now boasts multiple taprooms all over the world. Mikkeller San Diego specializes in styles inspired by the American Craft Beer movement.
