Nov 26, 2007 Wow somebody burnt my beer, probably the most roasted taste I have ever had. Usually when one flavor dominates that is a death sentance for beer, but Three Floyds pulls this one off. Hopefully I can get my hands on this once more before the season is over, and if Alpha King has any more cousins then bring em on.

Jan 19, 2008 Popping the cap let out an incredible roasted aroma...kind of smelled of smores and a cup of coffee by the campfire. Rich mahogany body with a thin tan head, the flavor was top notch, but not as good as expected. Although the traditional "cup of joe" and whipped-cream topped cocoa flavors were present, I didn’t notice the "stange American hops" as noted in the description. When you see a brew rated as high as this one (especially after acquiring a beer as amazing as Dreadnaught days earlier), you assume this will also be a beer that will differentiate itself from its competition. I just didn’t find that with this one. Try it if you have an opportunity...just wanted more.

May 6, 2008 Shared by Big Bruce the infamous canuck! Another good beer by 3F. Bottle about three years old. Even though porters are not my favorite this beer kicked butt. Dark in color with a big head. Taste was super intense roasted malt. Nice touch of chocolate, it lacked on the hops but I think that was due to its age. Medium texture, overall very enjoyable! Thanks again Bruce for sharing!

Apr 6, 2009 2008 Bottle - Pours out a thin dk brown with a massive mocha coloured head...aroma is cocoa malty, coffee, and some wood bitters...flavour is bold without being too over the top, nice sweet roast coffee on the front end that turns into a spicy, lingering bitter finish...very, very nice!

Dec 10, 2008 Black, medium tan head. Aroma of smoke and chocolate. Bitter smoky finish, like a stout. Interesting.

Jun 14, 2009 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.

Nov 3, 2009 Pours a very dark red. lasting head with consistent lacing. The hops took a backseat to the strong roasted malts. Thin. No sweetness. Enjoyable.
