A Note on This Beer

For all of you who choose silky Mounds Bars over nutty Almond Joys, Sometimes You Don’t is a dream come true!

The confectionary geniuses at White Elm crafted this silky Milk Stout to taste as indulgent as a chocolate milkshake swirled with real chunks of Mounds. They harnessed all the candied decadence of this sweet treat by shoveling cacao nibs, coconut, and milk chocolate into every barrel!

It pours nearly as thick as chocolate syrup, but with a pleasant edge of roastiness to soften the sweetness. With every sip, more dark chocolate richness flows across the palate before giving way to notes of creamy, candied coconut shavings.

This is a dessert beer worthy of a spot in any candy-loving craft fan’s fridge. Especially those who enjoy the chocolatier things in life.

But, only the quickest Mounds hounds will be able to get their hands on a can of Sometimes You Don’t — this brew rarely leaves Nebraska outside of Tavour! So, unless you’re fixing for a road trip to Lincoln, Nebraska, this may be your only chance to try this melty indulgence! 

White Elm has been featured by The Beer Connoisseur and The Beer Travel Guide as one of the Best Breweries in Nebraska!

*HEADS UP from the brewers — always chill before opening to avoid any sticky spillovers! All White Elm cans are intentionally filled to the brim and highly carbonated for your enjoyment.

It has all the coconut and chocolate I wanted, but the finish is just a bit too short.

Exactly as described. Great dessert stout. With its sweetness, probably couldn’t have more than one in a sitting. GBR

I’m not usually a fan of coconut beers, but I love the “some times you don’t” candy bar. This tastes exactly like that. Hats off to White Elm!!

Pretty well balanced coconut stout. However it lacked that long-lasting creamy mouthfeel of a great stout. Still, very good.

Smells like chocolate and coconut. A really good stout. Tastes like a Samoa. I get the milk chocolate, coconut, and bitterness from the dark chocolate. Tons of coconut flavor. Yummy!

Very very good for us chocolate lovers ! You can taste the coconut, but it is quickly followed by the chocolate taste. I am glad I got this to try !

Good flavor really shines off the coconut flavor and a dark roasty flavor of chocolate, what missed the mark is it's very light and needs to be heavier to compliment its flavors. Overall decent beer

Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t. Haven’t had a mounds or almond joy bar in over a decade. This brings me back; tastes nostalgic, not to thick, not to sweet. Guess I don’t feel like a nut. Very good.
