Three Floyds Alpha Klaus Christmas Porter

Brewed by Three Floyds Brewing Company
Style: Imperial/Strong Porter

Bomber. Pour is deep brown/black with a small dark brown head. Huge roasted malts, coffee, and some piney hops to the nose. Flavor is damn good with roasty goodness throughout and finishing with coffee. Very nice brew and damn drinkable.

Bottle 66cl. @ home.

22oz bottle shared by photomike. Black with a medium beige head. The aroma is just outstanding; a mix of potent tropical fruit hoppiness (mostly pineapple, with a good dose of ripe grapefruit) and subtle dark chocolate. If you close your eyes, you might almost think IPA, but the chocolate is also unmistakable. The flavor also has plenty of tropical fruit and dark chocolate, with a dry, earthy, almost smokey quality as well. The finish is dry and earthy with a medium bitterness that isn’t nearly as intense as the hop aroma and flavor. Not nearly as thick thick or sweet as I had expected, and I really like that. This drinks much easier than you might think, in a sharp departure from a certain stout that FFF makes, with a medium body and moderate carbonation. This was an awesome and pretty unique beer. Reminded me of Stone 11th, but more toward the porter end of the continuum.

Black pour with light brown head. Aroma is hoppy, sweet malt, and chocolate. Taste is roasted malt, sweetness, little bitter. The hops and the malt give this brew a great taste. They meld together well to give the complexbeer a great taste. As most good/great beers, as it warms in your hands, the taste magnifys for the best.

Great beer. Mixture of porter and stout, with the best of both worlds. Pours dark like a stout, with a porter aroma. Flavor of chocolate and roasted malts. Tastes the same.

650ml bottle from Khans, Indianapolis. Pours a rich brown with a mocha head that lasted the entire glass and left lots of lacing. Rich roast chocolate aroma and flavour with a nice hop bitterness in the finish. Rich, think mouthfeel, and it only got better as it warmed. Very nice porter indeed.

pours a deep brown with a tan head. notes of coffee, dark chocolate, and floral hops. some nice hop bitterness comes through. Sticky, yet very smooth mouthfeel. Awesome beer.
