Where can I find something similar to White Chocolate Moose (Dixie Brewing Co)?

Question

Dixie Brewing Company used to make a dessert beer called White Chocolate Moose. It was a sweet, chocolate-flavored (I don't mean chocolate malt) beer and came in small (I think 7oz) bottles -- which was the right size for something that concentrated. (In a way, it was to beer what ice wine is to wine.) Then Hurricane Katrina happened and the brewery was destroyed. According to Wikipedia they operate now as a contract brewery, but as far as I can tell they're not making this particular product, at least under that name. ("As far as I can tell": I can't find a web site for the company nor a product list, but my searches under this name aren't producing results.)

Is somebody producing this under a different name? If so, who and where? If not, what beers are available that are similar in taste?

Answer 1

There are several that you might try.

The Bruery White Chocolate

This bourbon barrel-aged wheatwine-style ale made a fanciful trip to the chocolatier and returned with luscious flavors of white chocolate – hence the name. White Chocolate is a rewarding summons to the senses – beginning with its golden appearance and finishing with warming, white chocolate-like flavors. This is accomplished by adding cacao nibs from TCHO and fresh vanilla beans to our bourbon barrel-aged wheatwine-style ale, complimenting the rich notes of coconut, honey, caramel and vanilla from extensive barrel-aging.

Sonoran Brew Company White Chocolate Ale

As Beer Advocate describes it:

Inspired by the beauty of the White Mountains; the Sonoran White Chocolate Ale is a light, refreshing and completely unique wheat beer. Like a fine chocolate, this brew has a delicate aroma and a subtle taste of white chocolate, which is truly astonishing!
