Commercial Description:
A hophead’s dream beer. This Imperial India Pale Ale has an opening salvo of mango, peach and citrus hop aromas that sit atop a pronounced caramel malt backbone. Although Dreadnaught is a strong and intensely hoppy ale, its complex flavors is both smooth and memorable. 9.5% ABV, 100 IBUs.

On tap at FFF. Nearly flawless - this and Pliny the Younger are the best examples of this style there are. Clear deep golden-copper color with a nice white head. Aroma is citrusy hops and sweet caramel malt. Really enticing. Strong hops deliver a backhanded pimp-slap off the bat that hits you like a Mack Truck in the ass. Malty sweetness is right there with it to balance. Flavor is top-notch and finish is smooth with hop oils coating your tongue. It’s really too bad you can only get this stuff in Munster, Indiana.

22oz bomber into a goblet. Deep amber color, hazy, thin off-white head. Smells very piny and citrusy. Malty, grapefruit taste. Bitter, but not overly so. Thick mouth feel, a bit on the viscous side. Decent IPA from the midwest.

Resiny hop aromas, hints of grapefruits with tropical fruit notes. Pours a pale golden color. Bitter hops upfront, earthy bitterness with traces of pine, caramel malts. Pretty good.

Pours a cloudy light orange. Ginger, candy, and citrus on a very hoppy nose. Very bitter but well balanced with a hint of sweetness to it. I think I pick up some caramel or something. Sure, I like it.

Poured a golden amber with a big chunky head. The smell was the best part, big sweet citrusy hops dominated, and kept you going back for more. Taste was also big and hoppy, but seriously, with all the hype, I felt it kind of finished on a thud. Don’t get me wrong, this was an "A" beer, but I was expecting something more. Mouthfeel was a little light, but overall very drinkable, i’ll have another.

Bomber bonused via trade with phaleslu, thanks again Peter!!!! Pours a moderately hazy coppery amber with a 1 finger creamy off white head that has great retention and leaves respectable sheets of lacing. Aroms is full of citrus, pineapple, mango, a hint of peach, plenty of creamy caramel, a little biscuit, straw, a little grass and a vanilla like sweetness. Fantastic aroma. Flavor is sweet, creamy caramel, toasted grain, biscuit, sweet malt, grass, sweet citrus, red grapefruit, blood orange, vanilla pudding and light mineral notes. Finish is somewhat bitter citrus, caramel, vanilla, burnt sugar and a lingering mineral and sweet tropical fruit fade. Palate is medium bodied with a creamy entry moderate slightly prickly carbonation and slightly creamy, mostly dry finish. Just a fantastic beer, another great brew from Three Floyds.

Thanks to Exiled for sharing this bottle with me. This was beer No. 1200 for me. Pours a slightly murky golden color with a white head. The aroma is lot of hop flavor: mango, citrus and orange. The flavor is orange and other citrus with medium bitterness. Medium-thick mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Definitely lives up to the hype.
