4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bomber. Pours a deep black with slight reddish hues. Big Frothy chocolate colored head that dissipated and laced nicely. Aroma is roasted malt, toffee, some vanilla. Taste is a mouthy roasted toffee, slight chocolate and vanilla, balanced nicely by a slight bitter hop. Very good dry stout indeed. A great offering!

Poured from a bottle into a snifter. The beer is dense black with a thick, khaki colored head that slowly dissipates. Aroma is dark chocolates, toasty notes, caramel, vanilla, and coffee. Taste is sweet and reminiscent of the nose. Mouthfeel is thick and creamy. Hands down the best dry stout I’ve ever come across.

Location/Date:Bottle split with Dave on January 25th, 2011.
Appearance: Pours black with faint red head.
Aroma: Aroma is malty, with faint chocolate and coffee.
Taste:Taste is similar to the nose.
Palate:Lighter for stouts in general, but nice level.
Summary: It’s nice to have a tasty stout that isn’t imperial for once. And as usual Three Floyds delivers.

Very roasty and full flavored, yet light bodied and light in alcohol. Very complex palate with a lot of roasted malt, coffee, a little choclate and maybe a bit of hops. Was interesting to see a s stout that’s so low in alcohol have such a good flavor.

Black pour, thick tan head. Aromas of caramel, and pine hops. Nice balanced flavor. Not an overly bitter coffee flavor. Medium bodied, like a porter and a bit creamy. Nice dry finish. Overall, another solid one by FFF. I like this one as it is very sessionable.

Bottle shared with evanlarkin. Black, large variegated brown and tan head, solid lacing. Aroma of pine and dark milk chocolate. Taste resembles an espresso pot left on the burner way too long. Nice stuff.

Overall: Three Floyds has a nice dry stout here, but nothing spectacular. It isn’t particularly difficult to quaff, with a mild mouthfeel and relatively low ABV, but it also isn’t something I’d go crazy to try and get. Good for a lazy Sunday evening.

Pours very dark brown with huge tan head. The nose is noticeably hoppy with notes of pine and citrus but I definitely get some of the roasted, coffee notes in there as well. Taste is bitter roasted malts with a lot of high-alpha hop goodness and a dry finish. This is really good. By far my favorite dry stout.
