Three Floyds Sköll Imperial Porter

Three Floyds Sköll Imperial Porter. With honey, cacao nibs, peppers, and aged on oak. 

8.5 % ABV. Three Floyds Brewing, Munster, IN. 


Thoroughly ebon. Rich, lush cocoa-tinged head. Terrifically dark. 

In the nose: Earthy. Malty. Slightly roasted and toasted. Cocoa and espresso. Nice.

In the mouth: A flood of malty flavors. The chocolate and coffee, soon met with the heat of the peppers. Lain dormant in the aroma, they spring to life on the palate, without taking over. Full-bodied, rich, delicious, long-lasting malty flavors. Pepper flavor remains moderate, Just the way I like it. Heat is matched by alcohol, and they come together in a beautiful way, rich and rewarding. 

I like a good ol' Imperial Porter, and this is one. 

Honey, Cocoa Nibs, Guajillo & Chipotle peppers and aged on Oak
