Brrr. It’s not even cold outside but I just got the shivers after reading the label on today’s Barrel-Aged Snowed In Coconut Oatmeal Stout.  

You might not be ready for snow flakes, but take one whiff of this dark brew from Denver’s Copper Kettle and you’ll throw on your knit hat and mittens -- prepared to dive into a blizzard of coconut falling over your taste buds.

Pretend you’re riding up a ski lift, ready to drop into the intense black diamond run that is this brew:

The original Snowed In scores a 98 from Beer & Brewing Magazine AND that was before they even added coconut flakes! Snowed In Coconut is a 12.4% ABV Imperial Oatmeal Stout that tastes like a boozy melted Almond Joy.  

AND it is aged in elite grade Bourbon Barrels from the 3-time defending World Whiskey Awards Champions at Breckenridge Distillery.

AND it’s brewed with real coconut flakes AND chocolate.

AND there’s only 210 cases of this boozy dessert in existence.

AND since it’s made by the GABF Dark Beer medalists at Copper Kettle, you know that puny batch will be gone before you snow it.

*Hide Coconut Snowed In inside one of your mittens and when the first snow of the season drops, it’ll be like finding a forgotten $20 bill in your coat pocket.
