3.9/5

AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20

22 ounce bottle into pint glass, no bottle date but it is this years batch. Pours crystal clear orangish golden amber color with a nice fairly dense 2 finger off white head with good retention that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Some spotty lacing clings to the glass as well. Aromas of apple, pear, biscuit, light caramel, and spicy hops. Nice and fairly standard Oktoberfest aromas; very malty. Taste of toasted malt, light caramel, biscuit, pear, apple, and spicy hops. Very crisp and slightly dry finish. Hardly any bitterness noticed on the finish; with some light lingering notes of biscuit, caramel, toasted malt, light fruit, and spicy hops for a bit. Medium carbonation and body; with a crisp and very smooth mouthfeel that drinks exceptionally easy as expected. Alcohol is well hidden with nothing really noticed at all. Overall this is a very nice Oktoberfest offering. Nice balance and very drinkable stuff.

Very nice and drinkable Oktoberfest offering from Three Floyds. Pretty spot on with the style, and nothing off the wall like FFF is usually known for.

Three Floyds Robert The Bruce Scottish Ale

3.9/5

AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20

12 ounce bottle, no bottle dating. Pours slightly cloudy dark red-brown color with a fairly dense 2 finger khaki head with good retention that reduces to a nice sized cap that lasts. A small amount of lacing clings to the glass as well. Aromas of raisin, caramel, molasses, biscuit, roasted nuts, toasted malt, spicy hops, and light chocolate. Some nice aromas with decent strength and balance. Taste of big caramel, bread, molasses, toasted malt, nuttiness, light fruits, and herbal hops. Light amount of bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of chocolate, caramel, bread, and herbal spiciness. Medium carbonation and body, with a fairly creamy and smooth mouthfeel that drinks very easily. No alcohol noticed other than a warming well after the finish. Overall this is a very nice and enjoyable Scottish ale that I would have again in the future.

Honestly, I have never really had a disappointing beer from Three Floyds. A very tasty offering.

Three Floyds Apocalypse Cow

4.3/5

AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20

22 ounce bottle into tulip, no bottle date. Pours hazy golden amber color with a nice 2 finger dense off white head with amazing retention that reduces to a lacing cap. A fair amount of lacing clings to the glass as well. Aromas of big pine resin, orange, bread, caramel, spices, light tropical fruit, and some malty sweetness. Some very nice and balanced aromas, and a bit different than most DIPAs I have had in the past. Taste of big lemon, orange, pine, bread, caramel, spices, and some tropical fruit. Big fruity sweetness on the front with a decent amount of bitterness on the finish that lingers for a bit. Some great balance, but the sweetness is definitely more prominent thanks to the lactose. Lingering notes of pine, citrus, and spices on the finish for a while. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a very nice and creamy mouthfeel. For a beer of ~10%, the alcohol is hardly noticible other than a slight warming on the finish. Dangerously smooth and drinkable stuff. Overall this is an outstanding and interesting take on the style with the milk sugar. I would say they do a nice job with experimentation.

This is definitely an outstanding and unique Double IPA. The lactose adds more sweetness, but this still turns out very balanced and dangerously drinkable.

Alcohol is extremely well hidden with nothing noticed other than a small warming after the finish. Great drinkability, but it is still a bit of a sipper. Overall an excellent milk stout that is not too sweet and has great balance.

Yet another excellent brew from Three Floyds. Not as sweet and dessert like as some other sweet stouts, but still very enjoyable and smooth.

Three Floyds Dreadnaught Imperial IPA

5/5

AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20

22 ounce bottle into tulip, no bottle dating. Pours slightly hazy golden amber color with a dense 2 finger off white head with amazing retention that reduces to a thick lacing cap. Dense lacing clings to the sides of the glass as you drink. Aromas of huge amounts of pine, orange, grapefruit, pineapple, caramel, and spices. Insane aromas with tons of strength. Taste of tons of pine, caramel, pineapple, orange, grapefruit, lemon, and spices. Nice amount of bitterness on the finish that lingers with caramel, pineapple, orange, pine, and grapefruit flavors. The balance is completely perfect in this beer. There is a ton of bitterness, but it does not overwhelm your palate because of the malt balance being just as strong. Slightly syrupy with huge creamy mouthfeel, but still insanely smooth. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied. Alcohol is practically invisible with only a very small warming on the finish. For the alcohol level, this drinks way too easy. Overall this is a mind blowing DIPA. The balance of flavors is insane, and I could drink this all day even though its 9.5% haha. Perfection.

This a re-review of a beer that I already loved at first taste back in January. I believe that this bottle was quite a bit fresher, because the store where I purchased it had a full case in stock. Absolutely incredible and perfect Imperial IPA, and beer for that matter. My first 5.

Three Floyds Gumballhead

4.1/5

AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20

12 ounce bottle. Pours hazy golden amber color with a sticky 2 finger white head with very good retention, and some nice glass lacing. Aromas of pine, citrus, grapefruit, and a bit of wheat. Taste of tons of grapefruit, with some pine, wheat, and bread. Lots of citrus fruit flavors in this. Some light hop bitterness on the finish that lingers for a bit, but the beer is mostly malt forward. It has a fairly dry finish. No alcohol noticed at all as I expected at 5.5%. Very smooth drinking, and goes down easily, very refreshing. Medium carbonation and body. I am still quite a newbie when it comes to wheat ales, but this one is highly enjoyable, and I would definitely have this again. Excellent.

Once again Three Floyds makes yet another tasty beer. I believe this is the last one I have though. If I ever make it back to Indiana, I will be getting some more.

Three Floyds BlackHeart English IPA

4.3/5

AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20

22 ounce bottle. Pours slightly hazy amber-orange color with a 2 finger off white head with amazing retention that reduces to a lacing cap that leaves fantastic glass lacing. Aromas of grapefruit, pine, floral, caramel, and pineapple. Taste of grapefruit, pine, pineapple, and caramel, with a delayed bitterness of citrus and grapefruit, that lingers for a while after the finish, showing a strong use of hops. Very well balanced flavors, and it definitely reminds me of the Dreadnaught DIPA from them. Medium carbonation and a medium-full body. Absolutely no notice of the alcohol content. Overall, this is outstanding, and I really hope they start to distribute back to Ohio, because everything I have had has been a great experience. Delicious.

Another winner from 3 Floyd's. Apparently it is slightly aged on oak, but I didn't detect much if any oak flavor. Regardless, I am pretty sure this is my first oak aged IPA style. Also noticed that the label is much different than what is shown on the beer rating sites, and is probably one of the coolest looking labels I have seen.

Three Floyds Behemoth Barleywine

4.3/5

AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20

22 ounce bottle, 2009 vintage. Pours cloudy dark copper with a nice dense 2 finger off white head with great retention and very nice lacing. Aromas of caramel, raisins, molasses, citrus, wood, and banana. Taste of molasses, bourbon, citrus, roasted nuts, wood, and pine. Some very slight bitterness on the finish, it is quite sweet, but very tasty. A ton of flavors going on here, I don’t think I could pinpoint them all. There were more aroma notes there than I could figure out as well. There is alcohol warming after the finish, but not too overly strong. Has a full creamy body with medium carbonation. Lingering tastes of wood, caramel, and bourbon on the finish. Incredibly drinkable for the ABV. I feel quite lucky that I was able to find this while I was over in Indiana, the number of ratings tells me it must be somewhat rare. I had purchased the last bomber that was in the liquor store I visited as well. Overall, this is an incredible tasting barley wine, and is highly enjoyable.

Found this one in Ft Wayne, and it was the last bottle at the liquor store. I feel lucky that I acquired it. So awesome. The wax color shows the year it was brewed, you should be able to see the blue wax on the side dripping down.

Three Floyds Pride & Joy Mild Ale

4/5

AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20

12 ounce bottle. Pours cloudy dark amber color with a 2 finger off white head with good retention. Aromas of caramel, citrus, and some pine. Taste of citrus, pine, and some caramel. Has a nice clean hop bitterness on a dry finish. Very well balanced with the malts. Medium body and carbonation. This is a great session beer. When i took the first sip it tasted a lot different than anything I have had before, but as I kept drinking, before I knew it my glass was empty. I really hope they return distribution to Ohio.

My first Three Floyds brew, and I am thoroughly impressed. I can't wait to try the other ones. Hopefully they return the distribution here.
