There’s nothing better to fight off the chill than a fine-fitting sweater...except maybe a boozy-spiked hot chocolate to go with it. All that rich, thick dark chocolate loaded with a fair share of vanilla spicy bourbon is more than enough to warm the cockles.

Iron Horse Brewery imbibes this holiday treat into craft beer with their 8.1% ABV Cozy-Er Sweater Imperial Oatmeal Stout. Yeah, its smooth like cocoa, but it does it one better -- spiking this creamy dream with rich blackstrap molasses then aging it on hard maple!

Hard maple wood is pulled straight from the same trees that make maple syrup -- but Iron Horse skips the middleman and goes straight for the sweet and spicy wood. Adding hints of maple in addition to the oaky bite of Kentucky whiskey, maple wood douses this Stout in nightcap flair. Bittersweet blackstrap molasses doubles the chocolate character and amplifies the body, while the oatmeal makes it even smoother.

Save the hot chocolate for the kids and cozy up to Iron Horse’s idea of a sweater-good-time with Cozy-er Sweater Imperial Stout.

*Bonus -- You’ll be the coolest kid at the Ugly Sweater party if you bring along a few bottles of this stuff.
