It's a new year and it's time to class things up at bumwinebob.com a bit! As a special treat for all you readers we are jumping back on the craft beer train once again! I am going to be joined by the Beer Up Blog on this Sunday's edition of Bumming with Bobcat, so I wanted to get one of their picks for a beer of the week for our readers to enjoy. He gave me a few of his top choices at the moment, and after doing some searching I was finally able to get my hands on one of his top picks.
Yes...that is a Miller Lite glass...sorry. DEATH BY COCONUT!
Death By Coconut is an Irish Porter brewed and canned by the Oskar Blues Brewery in Longmont, Colorado. Upon opening the can I could smell the chocolate and coconut combination right from the start. As I took the first sip I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with the taste. I have had some "chocolate" beers in the past and was not impressed, but I was very happy with the combination in this one. You definitely can taste the taste the coconut in each sip along with a hint of chocolate that isn't too overwhelming.

Oskar Blues Death By Coconut comes in at 6.5% ABV and tastes just like a mounds bar. If you are a fan of coconut then you will definitely be a fan of this beer. I do have to say that the only thing I am not a fan of is the price. As with many craft beers, they can be quite pricey. It was $14.99 for a four pack so it averages about $3.75 per beer. It's not THAT bad when you think about it, but when you are used to paying that same price for a 12 pack it can get quite depressing. Save these for a special occasion or enjoy as a nice dessert beer.
