A Note on This Beer

  • “This is an amazing little slice of coconut and chocolate heaven!” @Kevin F.
  • “Yep, delicious! Lovely brown lacing. Dark, malty, hints of bourbon, hidden booziness.” @Irish M. 
  • “Smooth and sweet with rich chocolate and tropical coconut. A luxury Almond Joy!” @Heidi W. 


These are just a few of the lucky early sippers going coco-nuts over the 2020 vintage of Copper Kettle’s decadent Snowed In, Coconut Imperial Stout! 

Starting with a velvety soft Imperial Oatmeal Stout base, these GABF gold medalists add heaps of real coconut flakes and sweet bakers chocolate to every batch. Next, they age Snowed In Coconut in elite-grade bourbon barrels for complex layers of oaky flavor. 

The result is a top-notch dessert beer so complex, it must be sipped slowly and deeply savored in order to appreciate its full range of luscious decadence. 

Unapologetically sweet caramel and vanilla aromas waft from the rim. The towering 12.1% ABV is well-concealed behind the toasted toffee notes of the bourbon. Added chocolate and coconut fuse with the dark roast malts of the Stout, mimicking all the flavors of chocolate liqueur drizzled over rich and creamy coconut-bourbon ice cream.

If Copper Kettle would let us, we’d grab a whole truck-full of this delectable brew. Alas, their small batch size means we only got 45 cases — some of the only XL, 19oz cans to cross state lines. So, you guys have to share this sumptuous dessert!

*Tavour members gave the last Snowed In release a king-sized 4.24 rating!

This tasted exactly like an almond joy bar. The barrel aging process was not lost on this one either. It added a complexity that you have to taste to appreciate. Nice thick body too! This was done right!

Nice stout. More chocolate than coconut, which works for me. Both are subtle, too.

Full-bodied and decadent. Like biting into dark chocolate cake. Bourbon was faint.

Not sure why the avg is below 4 on this. It’s a balanced stout, rich, strong, good flavor and not to sweet. Very much a fan of this BBA stout

I'm just not sure about this one. Thick as hell, this beer has a weird astringent taste, I'm guessing from the coconut. It's not bad, it's just not as enjoyable as it sounds.

Nah, not very good. DO NOT SPEND 18 BUCKS ON THIS. I mean I taste chocolate and coconut don’t get me wrong... but it’s nasty to me. Maybe it’s just the type of beer it is. Maybe it’s because it’s a stout. I don’t know. But it’s bitter and dark chocolatey. Sounds like it’d be good but I was mistaken. Swing and a miss.

Deep dark brown with a quickly dissipating dark brown head. Coconut, marshmallow, caramel, and chocolate aromas. It’s a big bodied beer with silky mouthfeel. Coconut, chocolate cherry cordials, and some coffee flavors. There’s some background bitterness to help balance the big malt bill. Finishes without a ton of lingering sweetness (a definite positive).

I think I would have enjoyed this more if it was in a smaller portion. That whole can was too much for me. I am still trying to get into bourbon more and I could taste some of it on this beer but it's probably because I barely have it and so the taste stands out more to me. Other than that, I could smell and taste the chocolaty substance but hardly the coconut.

This was a decent stout, I did get lots of semi sweet chocolate but not as much coconut as I had hoped. Good try...

Aged for over a year and still quite good. Maybe coconut a little more less pronounced but overall still a lot of barrel character.
