Three Floyds Brewing Co. Munster, IN
Notes:
American Imperial Stout
22oz Bomber
8.5% ABV
40 IBU
Appearance:
Pours a dark, dark brown to black…head is thick, luscious and a khaki
color...tons of foam stuck to the glass…a good looking brew…(4.5/5)
Smell: A very
inviting aroma with tons of flavor…has a light citrus (orange, mandarin,
tangerine) and resinous pine bite balanced nicely by roasted malts, dry milk
chocolate, and a mild creaminess…toffee, caramel and oatmeal are apparent as
well…it’s got a rich, chocolate desert aroma that becomes more prominent as it
warms…tons going on here…(4.25/5)
Taste: Follows
the nose, tons of orange citrus hops flavor balanced well by roasted, dry milk
chocolate and coffee bitterness…I’m also getting some oatmeal, piney resin bite
and a nice creaminess…it’s got a strong flavor without feeling heavy…very well
balanced, flavor is fresh and lively while bringing tons of roasted
malt…(4.25/5)
Mouthfeel: Light to medium body with light carbonation…it
fluffs up bringing mild roasted chocolate malt and light coffee bitterness, but
it’s a bit light (watery) on the palate…roasted malts cover the outside of my
tongue…a piney bite with mild bitterness lingers in the after taste…(3.75/5)
Overall: This
is a fantastic brew…a combination of stout and ale, it’s got tons of malt
flavor with 3 Floyds patented citrus hops vibe…the body is light and but still
brings a touch of roubustness, which I like…it really drinks more like a black
IPA than an imperial stout, but there is a bold coffee bitterness that maybe
takes it to the “stout” level…anyway, the ABV is perfect, one bomber is great
for an evening of enjoying your favorite comedies on Hulu...super drinkable,
this brew will be enjoyed by stout fans, malt fans and hop heads alike…3 Floyds
does it again! This is a wonderful beer that’s highly recommended…(4.5/5)
Score:
(4.19/5)
