95 Rating – Oskar Blues Brewery – Death By Coconut
Who came up with this beer's recipe?
This beer's recipe was formulated by former Lyons brewer Jason Buehler in collaboration with Shamrock Brewing.
What’s your favorite aspect of this beer (flavor, aroma, etc.)?
The chocolate flavor, which comes from Cholaca. That was great to work with.
Where does this beer’s name come from?
It's a play on Death by Chocolate, since this is a chocolate coconut porter.
Is this your "desert island beer?"
Our special seasonals are for special occasions. One can has plenty of satisfaction. I would want to bring something more sessionable to a desert island.
Can you describe this beer in 10 words or less?
Delicious and crisp chocolate-covered beer candy.
Do you know a story – or have a personal story – that revolves around this beer?
Making Death by Coconut has been a wild ride. From a successful collaboration to a GABF silver medal to the challenges of production brewing, in the end, what we all think about when drinking this beer are the strained forearms and sore backs from hauling the bags of dessicated coconut into and out of the large tanks where we steep the beer.
