A mind that is fond of sparkling impulses. Welcomes a wealth of twisted fortune. The gallant return of this breakfast beer brings fire to our minds each year, forcing us to evolve into a new expression of the Skillet underbelly that has kept us smiling since day one. It was time we brought back an old fave. This Winter we aged the beer upon our Skillet blend of Guatemala, Ethiopia, and Colombia coffee beans, Thai tea, cardamom, and almond extract. An icy spiced refresher with creamy confectionary sweetness. An experience formulated by the wandering and delightful minds of our killer brewing team.

I was very intrigued about this release when I saw it. It pours like the original Skillet: thick ebony but this has an almost auburn pinkish head. Aroma is dominated by almond extract. Taste is almond and cardamom with very strong tannins. There is some coffee notes. Mouthfeel is full like the original but the tea tannins take over leaving a very dry mouthfeel. Overall, I’m a little disappointed by this variant of one of my favorite coffee stouts.
