Three Floyds PopSkull
Info courtesy of Chicagoist.com – Described as an “Old School, German Brown Ale with Palo Santo Wood and Botanicals,” 60 barrels of Popskull will be distributed in limited release around the time of DarkLord Day 2K9 (as if that event couldn’t become any more of a clusterfuck). Both Calagione and Floyd will be on hand, and the $10 cover includes a pint of Popskull and a triple bill of music headlined by the Waco Brothers. TFP EDIT – I wish 3Floyds or DFH had acknowledged this beer.
Three Floyds Brewing – Popskull – 22 oz. bottle poured into a goblet. 10% abv. From Amy in NV!
Appearance: Pours a dark brown with a tan head that subsides to a pin stripe.
Aroma: Roasted malt, caramel, burnt caramel and booze.
Taste: Burnt roast, wood, dark chocolate and spicy hops.
Mouthfeel: Thin and slick.
Overall: Really good. I thought this was going to be much sweeter, with no reason to backup my hunch. I was surprised at how great and complex this beer turned out to be.
