Death by Coconut Irish Porter and Ten FIDY Imperial Stout Return for Fall

Good news for autumn dark beer lovers, Colorado’s Oskar Blues Brewery is going to be distributing their popular seasonal releases Death by Coconut Irish Porter and Ten FIDY Imperial Stout nationwide. Both are hitting wholesalers and retail accounts on draft and in 4-packs of 12 oz. cans starting nowish.

More from a press release:

Death by Coconut is a cult classic brew that combines a semi-sweet Irish Porter with flavors of smooth chocolate and creamy coconut. The result is a malty and medium-bodied sweet treat of a beer that pairs well with crunchy leaves, campfires and desserts of every kind. 

Also returning this autumn is Ten FIDY Imperial Stout, a darker-than-dark, 10.5% ABV behemoth of burly malt flavor. Hefty quantities of big, dark malt including chocolate and roasted barley as well as Munich malt, caramel malt, and fluffy oats are used in the making of Ten FIDY, resulting in a midnight-hued brew that gravitates toward flavors of espresso, chocolate-covered caramel, black licorice and plum. Massively malty and imperially smooth, Ten FIDY has been an Oskar Blues favorite since 2007.

"We’ve got you covered this fall with two heavy-hitting seasonals. Death by Coconut brings a delicately balanced marshmallow, chocolate, and coconut flavor. Ten FIDY offers the fullest brown sugar, molasses, chocolate and roasted malt flavors and the most viscous mouthfeel out there,” said Head Brewer Juice Drapeau. “Both beers are designed to deliver the ultimate cool weather-drinking experience.”
