Three Floyds Alpha Kong

Bottle pours hazy orange with a thin white head. Sweet floral aroma, malty, pear/apple. Intense sweet flavors of light fruits, pine, malts, clove, and caramel. Overwhelms the palate with greatness. probably a bit sweet for a Belgian, but still a great beer.

I have had this beer several times. You really need to get a few guys togeither and just sip it out of 8 oz glasses. It pours rather thick. The smell is sweet with apricot and babana and clove. The taste is very seet and full. Overall probably my favorite beer right now.

Orange-copper in colour, thin but lasting off-white coloured head, light patchy lacing. The aroma was of nail polish remover, caramel sweetness, some toffee and alcohol. The flavour was creamy, alcoholic, very sweet, floral, syrupy. Alcoholic mouthfeel, medium body, mild carbonation. Finishes very sweet with a huge alcohol punch.

This is just crazy. There is so much alcohol in this that it just takes over everything. It will need a lot of time to mellow out this.

bottle - Pours lightly hazy orange with a thin head. The aroma is of sweet malt, some dark fruits, and some alcohol which one would expect given the high abv. The flavor is of sweet, syrupy caramel malt, a touch of yeast, some dark fruits, and of course the alcohol. Noticeable hops presence is light, which seems to be common with these extremely high gravity beers. It’s certainly an interesting beer.

Appears autumn colored in the glass, a fire-like orange, with a small, quicky diminishing foam. Nose of caramel, light and dark fruits, as well as a touch of booze. Incredibly flavorful and well balanced between sweetness and bitterness. Notes of Banana, pear skins, golden raisin, cinnamon, apples and pastries, with loads of caramel. Alcohol hidden well, of course I have a special palate in that I hardly ever taste alcohol in beer and this is no different. Nice mouth feel.
